I am using xfs since about ?! ...one year, say. (I should google, can't tell precisely.) The ambient conditions are those I have described. Rsnapshot and rsync work nightly, day after day. (Power outages are less frequent at night on the average, raining seasons and heavy raining permitting. And if in that one hour c.ca rsnapshot demands [plus a limited delay, I use uschedule] there is no power outage, every morning there is a new snapshot.) Once every while (order of the week) I pick something from the daily.x, weekly.x, or monthly.x series of the snapshots: this, that, and a third thing--not random exactly, but not always the same stuff nevertheless. Neither with the snapshots, nor with any other repositories or disks I have experienced a problem EVER--so far. (With reiser4 I had to do some recovery of the fs from time to time.) Pity for you if you have been xfs-stung, I don't. I will certainly not stop using xfs because of your ROTFLMAOing. There is a nice, and humorous short [20-30 lines] *therapeutic* story on the topic--"what is good for may be bad for you," and vice versa--by a Persian psychoanalyst. Can you read German?, the original is in German.
