YES!  Ideally even on their own disk pack.  Your going to generate a *&@(*)@#$%
load of log activity.  And make sure your log volume is mounted with noatime.

And I'd use XFS for the log volume with an external journal.

Rieserfs for the cache volume;  splitting it probably won't help.

Thats works, but is probably not feasible for political/legal reasons.

Yep.

I always like to have a small boring ext3 /boot volume.
