Even assuming this is true in the medium to long term rather than a
temporary problem... this is not the right way to do this unless there
is zero chance there will ever be a working fsck_lfs, which I don't
think we want to admit is the case.

The right thing to do is to make fsck_lfs exit without doing anything
(or otherwise behave innocuously) when run with -p.

That can be adjusted easily in the future by deploying a new fsck_lfs
binary; introducing gunk into users' fstab files requires hand-editing
or expensive/delicate postinstall foo later, or creates a permanent
disability, none of which is desirable.
