FUD and needless paranoia should be avoided.  While there is always a 
chance something like this can go wrong, you always keep backups right?

A while back I made a few patches to the ubuntu e2defrag to make it work 
properly on ext3 and stress tested it quite a bit on a small test 
filesystem with no issues, so using it SHOULD be fine.
