It seems there is read-only ext4 fuse module - 
https://github.com/gerard/ext4fuse .
The more interesting issue that on a lot of systems which I support I have ext4 
on LVM, so I thought plain ext4 fuse driver was of limited use.

I recently pushed an update to the fuse code, and I expect it
to work properly. In fact, I am using ntfs over fuse for nearly
everything (documentation, source code, music, backups, etc.)
shareable among Windows, Linux and OpenIndiana.

There is an old implementation of ext2 based on fuse, the
current state of which I do not know. IMHO, as fuse and ext2
did not get significant changes for years, I would expect reviving
it to be a simple task. Upgrading it to read-only ext4 should even
be possible with reasonable effort, so the real challenge
would be to provide read-write ext4 (even with no journalling).
