Good!

I don't see anything wrong with what you did.

No, I don't think so. I have used it because this is reasonably fast
to compile.

I don't think there is a best single .config for testing ext4 (but
let's see what other think).

Using .config from distributions is fine since it is the way some
users get ext4 (that's why I tested Fedora 9 too).
Using other ways is also fine since it increases testing coverage.

Yes, for example, defconfig lacks options from the "Kernel Hacking"
section for testability which are mentionned e.g. in
Documentation/SubmitChecklist.
