I am trying to avoid running them at the same time in an effort to
avoid 70 minute boot times (which is what happened on the weekend).
I accept that fscks are required on a periodic basis and I am willing
to reboot more often to achieve these but I would like to minimize
downtime (during the reboot) where possible.

This is in fact what transpired on the weekend and I would leave this
in place as a protective measure.
