Aah, I think this is the source of our different point of view. I was
refering to journaling filesystems (ext3, reiserfs, etc) where the
kernel will automatically replay last journal, so (on most cases) no
MANUAL fsck is necessary.

Since you're talking about "10s of thousands of small domUs running
small workloads" (which implies small, rarely changed files) then NFS
backups should be sufficient.
