Do you have a reference for fsck on a ro mounted ext4 filesystem being dangerous? The standard behavior of Linux systems has been to fsck a ro mounted ext* root filesystem since long before an initrd was invented.

It's only dangerous if fsck changed anything and you then try to use the filesystem without umounting it and dropping caches or rebooting. I have had issues in the past with metadata corruption in such cases.
