For the sake of the discussion, why have an upper wing root fillet at
all? The Caproni A 21 wing blends into the top of the fuselage. What
are the advantages/disadvantages to this type of design?

A better example of a wing root without fillet is the LS1f. But the manufacturer
added them to the LS4. Another example is the Janus B (just had a look on our
Janus now disassembeld in the workshop).
