I basically need reiserfs3 (nb. why is it disabled? it's a module, you use it, it doesn't wreck anything...) and I don't really want to change the rest of the kernel, and I'd like to have the minimum amount of fuss on future kernel upgrades.

Not answering the main question, but I would guess that this module is disabled for the same reason that XFS is -- support. Anything Red Hat distributes in RHEL they must support at a high level. They decided not to spend resources supporting XFS, and it looks like reiserfs is in the same boat.
