This leaves me with no "remote" way to fix serious errors such as FS

Is there such a thing as remote serial console. I'm thinking *if* the
kernel gets to boot, then it immediately starts the network interface,
and a tiny server for sending console messages to whoever is
connected. I should be able to fix FS corruption and other serious
problems. My question is, does such a thing exist ?
If most of your problems are simply moderately serious filesystem
corruption that you repair by running fsck and answering "y" to all the
questions (which is what most people seem to do) then you can probably
just add the file /etc/sysconfig/autofsck with contents like:
AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y"
I've often wondered how many people are competent (as in able to make
informed decisions) about the questions a manual fsck presents.
I still feel much the same as I did when I was presented with my first
one, around RHL (not RHEL) 4.x or earlier:

<shrug>
e2fsck -y ...
xx fingers.
Seems okay.
