What does not need fsck is journaling filesystem, which includes XFS but also ext3fs and ext4fs. What does need fsck is (for non-journaling filesystems) interrupted writes but also (for journaling filesystems as well) other causes of corruption. I suspect your description of XFS use implies running xfs_check only manually - i.e. comparable to "tune2fs -c 0 ..." for ext3fs and ext4fs.
