What cache= mode are you running?
writeback.
In the cache=writeback case the virtio-blk guest driver does:
blk_queue_ordered(q, QUEUE_ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH, ...)
I don't follow. What's the implication?
btw I really dislike how the cache attribute (which I see as a pure host
choice) is exposed to the guest. It means we can't change caching mode
on the fly (for example after live migration), or that changing caching
mode during a restart may expose a previously hidden guest bug.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to
panic.
