I believe you are more likely to run into a failure mode that no 
filesystem has come up with an answer for ... a disk failure. Because 
of the ways the numbers have tumbled for me, I've seen more instances 
of UFS (Solaris) losing data than ext2.

It's Grub more than Gentoo, and I don't believe you can ... /boot has to 
be readable by Grub which I doubt is going to start reading 
JFS/XFS/ReiserFS anytime soon.
