But of course more votes for this is better. If online incremental fsck is something people want, then please speak up here and that will very definitely help make it happen. On the walk-before-run principle, it would initially just be filesystem checking, not repair. But even this would help, by setting per-group checked flags that offline fsck could use to do a much quicker repair pass. And it will let you know when a volume needs to be taken offline without having to build in planned downtime just in case, which already eats a bunch of nines.
