The problem with this approach is that you certainly don't want to
server BLOBs this way. BSOBs, maybe, but imagine serving a 12MB file
this way: it first gets sucked into memory in its entirety and is then
flushed to the client. You would not want this to be a popular
download.

Anyway, BLOBs can be efficiently (albeit somewhat less securely) stored
in
the FS as long as Midgard handles their management: serving, access
control,
create/delete, etc.
