I strongly disagree on both counts -- LVM still relies on filesystem resizing features, which are still risky. Even with the so-called "reliable" ext3, I've lost several filesystems due to on-the-fly resizing, either because of the process being interrupted by a freeze / power outage or for other inexplicable reasons. I wouldn't consider LVM a good workaround for fixing partitioning mistakes later -- it only makes it a LITTLE less difficult to work around. This also requires a separate /boot partition, which could land you back at this same problem anyway. Also, I've not experienced any kind of bugginess with LVM. I use LVM on most of my systems.
