If you have mission-critical machines, then you don't use Fedora
for them anyway, right? ;-) Then you should install RHEL 5.3 (or
some of its variants) which has ext4 as a Technology Preiew
(i.e., not supported by RH yet).
Make your own conclusions. However, as with all similar
situation, no-one will do testing of your needs for you.
