It's 2016, if you abruptly shut down a computer in the middle of a filesystem write the chances of ending up with a corrupted filesystem are of around a 0 %, so those are the chances of getting a brick when you drop your mobile.

If you mount with nobarrier I'd say that the chances are somewhat higher than 0%

Not with any filesystem with a proper journaling system. Filesystem corruption is almost impossible.

Barriers are what force the journal to be written consistently, and IIRC they were enabled by default after 2.6.31 because of corruption with ext4.
