Sure. Which is the default approach of almost all of the drivers.

Not quite true; historically most (i.e. official) defaulted to safe=false.

Also safe=true only makes sure the server acknowledged your write; writeconcern allows you to wait for it to be written to the journal or more.

Also, journalling is not controllable via client drivers, only via startup flags / config options.
