I believe that soft updates has been well enough tested at this point to make it reasonable to turn it on by default. Doing it in 5.0 is a no-brainer; doing it for 4.5 is probably fine as it does not require any code-base changes. Having it off for the root filesystem seems like the right plan. Primarily for the reasons of running out of space. I have some changes in the works that try to address that problem, but none work well enough to be worth checking in yet. I am still hopeful that one of the ideas will pan out. In the meantime, you should be mounting a memory-based filesystem on /tmp. Indeed you should do that in any event - setting up a memory-based /tmp should be part of the default setup script.
