Its reasonably stable only journaling aspects are different from mainline. Also I have attempted to fix problems with drivers bigger than four TB the would result in corruption of the file system. The fix came from an a proposal the upstream mailing list a while back not sure where things went from there. Run apple's disk utility after using either feature. In the case of large drives it should never find issues. For journaling the results should be similar to what you get when OS X replays the journal.

[Bug 49052] Re: no hfs+ journal write support by default (gets mounted as read only)
@laelfrog: this bug is not Ubuntu-specific at all; the author of the code (Roman ZIppel) probably wrote that warning because he was not sure that the code is safe when writing on a journaled partition. The problem is writing on the journal - you can disable journaling on the FS, which decreases the resilience to crashes. According to [1], it can be done from Mac OS X with this command (which I didn't try): diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/TheVolumeName it is unlikely that Ubuntu works on this - in the very best and unlikely case, they could sponsor some external developer to fix it. The author of the code is Roman Zippel, and git log fs/hfsplus shows that he has not worked on it actively at least since 9 Apr 2008 [2].
