@fiona please let me know if this works and doesn't introduce wrong
infos.
I think this way the sentence represents better what is happening, as
it is not enabling it, but running that particular backup with fleecing.

I am also thinking of placing the actual command of this and the now
applied change detection mode into a code block instead of having them
inline.

 sent directly to the backup target. This can help guest IO performance and even
 prevent hangs in certain scenarios, at the cost of requiring more storage space.

 The fleecing storage should be a fast local storage, with thin provisioning and
 discard support. Examples are LVM-thin, RBD, ZFS with `sparse 1` in the storage
