Hmmm - XFS has been available in mainline since 2.4.25, and as a 
patchset for a long time before that. The xfs_growfs utility has been a 
standard tool for a long time, and is not what I think of as delicate 
these days.

So yes, ext2/ext3 still need looking after, but you've had better tested 
options for some time now. I still lust after ZFS on Linux though...
