These are not the best of times; one file : system is plenty. No. That's not true with flash systems. With /var and /tmp being mfs mounted they can be written to a lot w/o touching the flash cards. The big advantage is that you get your logs/tmp files etc w/o needing to hit flash. This is a huge win.
