I seem to recall the system reserving a certain amount of space to enable root to login in case of a filled system. Or was that only on a ext2 filesystem?
That's on ALL Unix and Linux systems that I've ever used. Once disk usage goes beyond a threshold (set individually in each filesystem layout on each partition at filesystem creation time), only root can write to the filesystem.
Any filesystem (ext3, xfs, reiserfs, etc) which doesn't have this capability cannot be a general purpose Unix or Linux filesystem because it cannot be used on whatever filesystem(s) (i.e partition) hold, for example, /tmp, /var/log, /var/tmp, and wherever root's home directory happens to be.
I don't think it is anywhere near that common. UFS (traditional Unix File System) never had that, and I don't think XFS has it today.
