Are you suggesting that /etc and /var should go onto their own disks?
There is lots of configuration in /etc (which is usually in the root
disk) that needs to be backed up.
Also, different apps store configuration and data in different places,
so saying "just put it on a second disk" can be hard.
Sure, it works fine for /home -- but mysql? imapd? ...

/etc for us is mostly generated by deployment and provisioning, in
production at least so that is not a problem. All changes have to go
through puppet/ansible.
The /var I have been putting on a seperate disk for a long time. And a
lot of VM's have separate disks for /data or /home.
So this combination works for us but it depends on your layout and
whether you have any provisioning/config management tools an procedures
running.
