The tests I did were:
All disks write-through
All disks write-back
With/without SSD for ZIL

All the permutations of the above.

So, unfortunately, no, I didn't test with WriteBack enabled only for
spindles, and WriteThrough on SSD.  

It has been suggested, and this is actually what I now believe based on my
experience, that precisely the opposite would be the better configuration.
If the spindles are configured WriteThrough, while the SSD is configured
WriteBack.  I believe would be optimal.

If I get the opportunity to test further, I'm interested and I will.  But
who knows when/if that will happen.
