If I have a 4K block size file system, what is the overhead of the

Define overhead? I would think by definition it takes 4k of space.
Overhead can include space, round trip to disk (latency), memory
allocation, etc...

By overhead, I meant space. I think you answered my question... an
inode (or metadata block) usually takes about the block size amount of
space.
