By "don't" work I assume you mean for high availablity.?

We run AIX file servers that use a journalled file system. You really
do want it to fsck the systems. We spent many months chasing what
we thought were salvage problems that were really lower level disk problems
that fsck needed to fix.
We recently installed AFS 3.4 and while we were down we fsck'd the disks.
A few of them had fsck problems even though we went down "clean".
(BTW we have 3 servers with 29/19/18GB)
We then forced a salvage and about half of them had salvage problems.
