My point is:

• if you're not using "advanced" features and you're not constrained by concurrent writes MyISAM is good enough. I'd say MyISAM may be even better suited to Drupal than InnoDB. None of the two engines is famous for data integrity after all.

I thought the whole point of InnoDB *was* data integrity.

• if you're using advanced features, you're constrained by concurrent writes, you can't afford data loss and you didn't invest too much in MySQL there are better engines to look at.

Out of curiosity, what would you suggest? No, I'm not looking to leave MySQL but I always enjoy learning a little more about databases.
