Yet at the same time, I know many people who have lost data to ext2
filesystems. So at what point can you consider something "stable"?
Only after [x] number of years? Or [y] number of installed systems?

I'd agree that Reiserfs is definitely stable. However, there are still
some specific combinations of hardware & configurations that it doesn't
necessarily work with, and that doesn't mean that you _can't_ still
trash a machine using Reiserfs. It's just a lot harder to trash a
Reiserfs filesytem through "normal" means.
