Mhhh.. as a long time user of CF booted Soekris I never suffered CF failure. on a 6 year 4x01 I suffered two 2.5 data disk failure while CF is still the original one ... Based on my experience, I can agree that write-only fs or logging on FIFO's can be not worthwhile. But totally avoid journaling fs and mounting it noatime costs nothing, give some speed gain too, is simple and give you more security margin. If you already have a big margin (or think of having it) why not play safer? JM2C.
