I would really love to adopt OpenBSD but the one thing I can't deal with is the absence of journalized filesystem.

Just the idea not to be able to recover after a power cut and work is hard to accept to be honest.

I have been recently considering running it on a minimal Alpine ZFS host but I am not sure how much I can optimize the display experience since I do not think OpenBSD support QXL/SPICE.

I would be curious if someone found a way...

Once you have workloads that can't tolerate a power cut + running fsck for a potentially long time, a battery backup becomes an excellent investment. I bought a UPS on eBay for cheap and my home server hasn't gone down since.

fsck is good. I have to hard reset my laptop a few times and I didn’t have corruption. Maybe a server has a different risk profile, but journalized systems are not file backup, which is what you should focus on.
