The relatively common issue isn't that running xfs_repair is necessary, it's that any kind of log replay is needed. A regular mount suffices. GRUB does not implement XFS journal replay, and if a system is rebooted to briefly after a kernel update, it's possible that GRUB cannot find the new entries in /boot. There was also a system shutdown issue which prevented clean unmounts of /boot during regular reboots, making this issue more apparent. However, I haven't seen any recent reports of this issue, and have not seen it myself for quite some time. Technically, this isn't even an XFS bug. Whether other file systems are more well-behaved depends on their GRUB implementation, and not so much on the file systems themselves.
