I've been doing this for more than ten years: massive backups with rsync and --link-dest. I started with reiserfs and it went on for more than ten years without any problem. Then I rebuilt the machines and decided to move to ext4. Ironically enough, I got into a serious bug in ext4 online expansion that caused data corruption. It is now solved, of course. Today, I would go for ext4. I have just a couple of system still on reiserfs, with very old (read: proven and trusted) software versions.
