Yeah, still better than ext2. I think part of it is that many people expect the file to either not have grown, or have the data you wrote to it.
IIRC (and I'm a bit hazy) here were other issues too that have been since fixed. The long delay between write and commit meant that a lot of bugs that would otherwise have been vanishingly rare got exposed. Likely the ext systems have/had similar bugs that just have only happened a single digit number of times in the past 20 years.
