Well, I would say you are living "proof-of-concept" if you have been
using softupdates with noatime for months now without any trouble.

A side anecdote which might be of interest you, Salvo:

I built a 3.4-RELEASE server with softupdates+vinum RAID10 a few
months ago, and the server did reliably hang once every day or so.  
Disabling softupdates on the vinum volume (only) solved the problem,
so you can take that for what it's worth.  I couldn't reproduce it
since then, so I think SU is stable.

(I wish I took a DDB dump at the time, but now I don't have access to
the server anymore...)
