JFFS2 is designed to wear the flash evenly, preventing you from
'drilling holes' by writing to any single block more than others and
wearing it out faster. If there is a performance gain to be had by
going directly to flash, you lose the robustness and leveling properties
of the JFFS2. Unless of course the 'direct to flash' implementation
accounts for power loss, bad blocks and wear leveling I'd be loathe to
give up JFFS2.
