This will work and can be managed well depending on your server applications.

If using lenny I believe Daniel is building patched kernels today with an aufs issue in 2.6.22 that requires the linux-patch-aufs. I am moving my plain images form etch to lenny and my experience is that plain fs is more agile and performs better than squashfs.
