We have been running longer than a few weeks with one unavailable DC. 
So: many replication failures filling up the logs. But that was it, no 
corruption of any kind, at least none that I'm aware of.

Just last week I removed the metadata with the visual basic script from:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/d31f091f-2642-4ede-9f97-0e1cc4d577f3

This worked very well: the replication errors have stopped, and there 
has been no database corruption. Only the dns entries had to be manually 
removed.

What corruption (or risk of corruption?) are you talking about?
