Depending on the size and number of your filesystems, I think your point about inconvenient is the key here. While a home user on a PC may find this inconvenient, a production system that was expected back up in a couple on minutes may actually qualify for a small-medium outage ;-)
One problem is the high default values used, may lead to complacency until the one re-boot comes and you find yourself waiting! Better to actually self manage these values via tune2fs (or equiv) and/or manually do your checks.
