IMHO if you say "VM" than the filesystem inside the guest doesn't

From my understanding this was because of the "repair" capabilities
of reiserfs checkdisk which was able to mix up your host and guest fs.
This was also only the case for VM Player and old Server eg. the Linux
add-on Hypervisors.
So, if doing that can break things badly, I imagine you may not be
totally correct that it 'doesn't matter'...
For ESXi with its own filesystem (vmfs) it still shouldn't matter that
much. As said the basic task of the Hypervisor is to abstract the
hardware used, so no chance for the guest OS to really optimize for
the hardware used. Maybe its time for a generic Hypervisor guest fs...
