:-)   It is not clear to me what aberrations lensfun is designed to correct. 
Can you enumerate?
Here’s something to look at while sitting in an airport. :-)

Cliff Notes version: LensFun corrects for “Transversal Chromatic Aberration,” 
as well as barrel/pincushion distortion and vignetting.

The question then becomes whether this correction works well for CA-like artifacts from non-telecentric lenses on thick sensor stacks. Understand, I don't care a whit, for my own photography, but am pedantically asking the logical question.

As I recall, when Roger at LensRentals first looked at a Metabones, he found that it performed poorly on the bench, until a fat, flat glass slab was put in the optical path, to simulate the sensor stack, and then did well. So it seems they correct the problem?
