So that's where my experience differs: if you run fsck every time the
filesystem is mounted the issues it potentially needs to fix are not
complex (because the filesystem hasn't yet been written to since the
damage first occured).

But this does involve changing the defaults: from memory fsck is run
only once every 20 mounts or so, and that should be changed to every
time ("once every 1 mounts"), and fsck has to be given permission to fix
the issues it encounters (which is achieved by means of kernel parameter
fsck.repair=yes).
