Just out of curiosity, is it possible to put the journal
on a different physical disk (e.g. a flash disk or other
kind of SSD)?  Or does the journal have to live inside the
actual file system?

And a second, more important question:  How well does SUJ
cope with unexpected power outages?  I just had two power
failures recently, the first caused by a bad supply, the
second caused by a failing CPU fan which lead to an
emergency shutdown of the hardware (power-off).  I also
remember the last "real" power outage at home when I tried
to use the electric kettle, the toaster and the microwave
at the same time ...

Best regards
   Oliver
