If you don't use sparse files (does NTFS even support them?), then the limited write capability of the kernel NTFS driver may be sufficient. It can write to existing files without changing their sizes as often as you want to. However, operations like file size changes, file creations and file deletions may result in "Operation not supported" seemingly randomly. (At least that was the state of the driver when ntfs-3g came out, I suppose they didn't remove any features since then.)
