I know this is not the core of this list but could you elaborate on how
is hardware bad these days. What kinds of tests do you run to reduce
this. I see that you have very very valueable know-how and would really
appreciate it :)

Reiserfs3 is supposed to be stable , but the last time I had a

For what it's worth, we use reiser3 on every server we sell (several
thousand so far) and have never run into reiser random corruption problems
except in the case of hardware that later turned out to be definitely
faulty.
We always run a memory test on every server before it ships, and we return
about 25% of motherboards to the manufacturer before shipping because of
this :( Some computers do go bad about a year later, eg. because of the
"exploding capacitor" problem that started a couple of years ago.
Computers nowadays are *really* badly made. It's hard to believe until you
have a large sample size, but it's true.
Have fun,

P.S. On the other hand, at least you know e2fsck has been well tested.
Nobody ever actually runs reiserfsck, which doesn't help its reliability.
