One minor nit: If it's solely the donor_inode that's data=journal (i.e. we
didn't mount with data=journal and only the donor inode is chattr +j), the
inode number reported in the message will be inaccurate.

I'm not sure why you'd chattr +j only the donor inode, so in practice this
isn't likely to occur.

Other than that,
