While I did that and lost near to nothing, I still think that this should not be the default approach of developing a filesystem... it should be ready to restore as much as possible in case of hardware failure or data corruption.

there is standard approach: you setup raid, and FS will restore as much as possible and likely everything. Adding extra complexity to cover some edge cases maybe is too overkill.
