One additional thought: Can XFS detect common cases where write operation is 
dangerous (ATM only write cache on with barrier off comes to my mind) and do a 
readonly mount in that case issuing an error message explaining why it does so?

IMHO a filesystem should follow that better safe than sorry strategy where 
possible when it comes to the risk of data corruption. And at least here it 
shouldn't have any serious performance impact.
