I "know" only from personal experience.
I have run computers with mixed filesystems (and always had different partitions with different filesystems as drive no 1) for years. Or at least since I laid my hands on NT 3.5.
The number of faulty shutdowns due to my mistakes, blue screens, games (my sons played a lot for some years), and maybe even a rare power failure is high. But I haven't noticed any exceptional losses. Neither have I noticed problems with bad sectors.
To conclude: *To me* this seems as a myth or maybe some other problem with drivers/cables/drives that has been taken for filesystem problems.
