Upgrading to ext4 is not extremely rare, but the recommended procedure involves mkfs and copying files over anyway: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UpgradeToExt4 https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UpgradeToExt4
In-place upgrades do have the potential to leave some non-default options for the final ext4 file system, such as 128B inodes instead of the 256B ones, which is where certain features like reduced timestamp granularity comes in.
