In the past I have seen ext2 saves time during boot vs ext3.Having a journal is no use since the files are rarely changed and the filesystem is mostly opened read only. The journal takes up some space. These may matter to you if you are trying to optimize boot times or disk usage.
Then use ext4 without a journal. ext2 is out of date and ext4 is superior in every aspect.
Is it safe to change an existing /boot from ext2 to ext4?
There's HOWTOs on doing this. You won't use all the features, but your files will convert to extents while being updated. To be safe, reinstall your bootloader after converting.
