But XFS easily breaks down due to media defects. Once ago I used XFS,

What file systems work on defect media?
As for crashed disks I rarely bothered trying to "fix" them anymore. I save
what I can and restore what's backed up and recovery tools (other than
the undo-delete ones) usually destroy what's left, but that's not unique to
XFS. Depending on how good my backups are I sometimes try the recovery
tools just to see, but that has never helped so far.

Never attempt to recover without first dd_rescue ing to a good hard
drive, and doing the recovery there on good hard drive.
