For me, optimizing any computer system means arranging it to maximize my paycheck.
For you, it seems to be sacrificing reliability and high availability in favor of raw speed.
If you want to run a system that takes ten hours to fsck after a power supply blows, you don't need ext3, certainly. That would pessimize my paycheck, though, since I'd end up unemployed.
Do an fsck on a 150GB database after a hardware crash and tell me again that it's not worth my while to sacrifice raw speed for solid journaling.
