No!  You seem to have gone a lot of work to convert system by your self
but standard kernel-image is very impressive work too.

Standard kernel has ext3 module so just need to be activated.  All woody
utilities are ext3 compatibleas well as far as I have experienced. I
included it in "Debian reference" below in kernel section.
