We may expect that feature in later releases, but definitely not in 8.3

I'm not clear whether you are looking for Backup, or High Availability
Replication.

There is no data loss with the online backup technique described in the

If you require HA replication with zero data-loss then you are currently
restricted to non-database techniques, which you already mentioned, so
you have your answer already.
