Which is the real objective, (not playing with e2fs! ;.-) Well, what I do in practice is only mount ext2fs partitions as needed (mostly ro), so that most crashes don't leave them dirty. This works well enough since I only need them occasionally. Booting Linux to run e2fsck is easiest. I used the ext2fs utilities mainly to run fs benchmarks starting with clean file systems. Booting Linux to run mke2fs and e2fsck for every stage is not so easy. Unfortunately my shell script for doing this hasn't been updated to work with non-block devices.
