The only logging/journaling file system available for *BSD that I am aware of is LFS, which I don't think is either stable or fast. I don't know how big a filesystem FFS+softdeps will support, but soft updates is not completly stable although I think it can be used with reasonable assurance it won't explode (I have). FFS on FreeBSD can support +300GB file systems I think, but whether soft updates will work correctly (or at least as correctly as it does in smaller file systems) at these sizes is unknown to me.
I've been using softupdates on a 361GB filesystem for some time now. Although some hardware failures gave vinum fits, softupdates has never caused me a problem: /dev/vinum/media 361G 288G 45G 87% /media
