     This might be a point of contention.  Have you checked out
softupdates? From what I can tell on the *BSD lists I'm on, softupdates
are fairly stable on FreeBSD.  I know they've been around for awhile and
I've heard of some people running them on production machines.  If you
haven't heard of softupdates its basically another way to accomplish what
journaling does.  I guess in some ways its better and the author has some
pointers to some in depth info about softupdates on his web page
(mckusick.com), but I think you need to be a usenix member to read them.
