The journal file format is primarily an append-based format (though some fields at the front are updated, to link the new additions up). This makes it not too bad when it comes to disk corruptions, and data up to the point of corruption should be readable pretty nicely still. Anyway, if you have a corrupted journal file and current journalctl can't read it, then please file a bug, attach the journal file, and we'll look into improving journalctl. If you think that our ideas, and in particular journal files are stupid, then please use something else, there are plenty syslog implementations around, and they still work on systemd.
