I upgraded from 2 to 3 because I thought it would resolve the
problems with 2, certainly it is far less frequent but it is not
non-existant. Are we talking about the occasional "bad anode block"
error?

I think it is a PFS issue, I've only had problems with Cache and large
data directories such as MD2's. In my (uninformed!) opinion it seems
to be related to writing (and removing), lots of files from the same
directories/subdirectories.
Even so, the problem is so rare, data loss so minimal (a couple of
emails usually), and easily recovered by copying to a spare partition,
formatting and copying back that for the speed increase alone I could
not even contemplate using FFS.
