I think it is dangerous, and the default should be safer side.
If driver noticed the corruption, it means FS is not unknown state anymore. Any files/directories are possibly corrupted.
Even if you change the file that seems to be uncorrupted, it may make FS unrecoverable more. (e.g. lose all data in worst case)
