All of Reiser's checks are promptless, and typically max out at less than 20
seconds for an 8GB partition. If it doesn't mount, it's going to be too hard to
fix. I've never had one not mount, and some of the machines in question live in
extremely hostile environments.

Mount the remaining ext2's readonly.

Yes, unless you have a small partition somewhere (I think the lower limit is
something like 16M) that you can't mount readonly.
