The reason that there are no "gotchas" with ext3 is if anything goes wrong it just defaults back to ext2 since the "ext3 journal" is merely an add-on to ext2.
While your procedure looks good for revising a system without taking it down, the times when I have convered to ext3 I've done it like this: tune2fs -j /dev/hda1 (repeat for all volumes) change ext2 to ext3 in fstab reboot. The compiled-in ext3 support is automatic at that point, and away it goes. No problems, no games. And it works just fine on RAID too.
