My thought process is that there's no reason for any advanced features in /boot since it should rarely change (aside from the occasional kernel or driver update).
That said, theres no real harm in using a different filesystem for /boot, such as ext3, ext4, btrfs, etc., so long as your bootloader (ie GRUB) can read files from it.
