max-mount-counts is useful mostly iff mounting/unmounting is likely to

this was true, but I suspect that parameter is mostly there out of
historical inertia now. (Note that mke2fs will try to a different value
for this parameter in every filesystem to stop thundering herds of
fscks: you can't really avoid those with the age-based check.)

You can set a slightly different number of days for each partition. I've
just thought, this is another good argument in favour of using multiple
partitions.

Of course, if you care about your disk contents, you'll use RAID and
back up sometimes (I'll admit that it's been too long since I backed up
because my backup scripts broke and I haven't fixed them, but I've got
the RAID :) )

I back up /etc and most of ~ to CDR about once a month. The stuff that's
most difficult to replace is effectively backed up off site
(sourceforge).
