Well, nothing forces anyone to use LFS for the root (and /usr)
filesystem just because one uses LFS for some other filesystem.  :-)

(Nothing forces anyone to use the stock offical TNF-sanctioned ISO for
their "rescue" CDs either! :-)

I think the question most folks wonder about with respect to using LFS
in production has more to do with its robustness, stability, and
integrity, rather than whether or not all the nooks and crannies in all
the filesystem related tools are all 100% filled in with all the
possible LFS support features one could ever imagine wanting.

(personally I'd be more inclined to experiment with XFS than with LFS,
if of course XFS were available in the base system -- LFS always seemed
like ever so much of a research toy while XFS has definitely proven
itself in heavy production use)
