I'm really curious:  Are you quite sure those are more reliable than
ext4 or ext3 (in their default metadata journaling/write modes)?

For performance, especially on very large volumes, there I'm sure you are
right, if only on account of excessive fsck times.  (I notice you said
the machine that handles your mail, which seems to imply modest
filesystem size.)  However, that was not the criterion you mentioned,
but rather reliability.

I have laughably little data, but my naive suspicion is that both ext3
and ext4 are significantly more reliable than the other two.
