I've been using ext4 for quite a while as a /boot partition. One of the "features" of ext4 is that you can use it without a journal (while still using extents and other benefits[1]), which is what I'm doing (for /boot - journal for the rest of the partitions)... but I wouldn't worry too much about a partition that's usually measured in 100MBs; ext2 will be fine too.
