ext3 has some very real limitations that haunt system administrators today. Maximum filesize can be an issue but the one that has made me do some workarounds in the past is the maximum volume size. ext4 will be a welcome improvement as it promises to greatly extend these limitations.
Out of curiosity, why are you using ext3 for a system like that when you admit it has serious limitations? Why not a filesystem like XFS who's maximum file systems size is 8 exabytes[1] (16 terrabytes on 32 bit linux systems because of os limitations).
