rsync - Dec 2014 - Re[2]: --link-dest --inplace updates files without unlinking. What to do?

This is OK for me. I care about file contents, not metadata.

OK, I was just making sure that you understood that.

BTW, if you want it to always have that behavior (it can save a lot of
backup space) you can use the old cp -al method instead of --link-dest
so that the target dir starts out completely populated.

You mean making "cp -al" on the remote and then start rsync to newly
created dir with --partial and without --link-dest, --inplace, --append-verify?
What is benefits? Even metadata will not leak to old files?
