This is not correct. XFS has had several improvements over time. XFS journals metadata updates and not data updates but that is exactly the case for Ext4 as well (Btrfs does the equivalent of data journaling but it is still experimental). A number of early Ext4 issues were actually fixed by following the same working model as XFS. Look up sync on rename for example. In short, XFS is no more prone to data risks compared to Ext4 on any recent distribution. Of course, if you really value your data, you should have backups anyway.
