Unrecoverable is a bit much, but it's a pain.
There are of course environments where XFS is fine but it's failure cases are pretty bad. I accidentally (wasn't paying attention) used XFS at home once on a NUC that was my UniFi controller and Pi-Hole; any time it lost power it'd hose the partition and make it unmountable. I'd have to go find a monitor and a keyboard and boot it single-user to recover.
My fault (we were selling the house and buyers love throwing breakers) but still not awesome. I run boot drives as ext4 exclusively now and I definitely pay more attention during setup.
