Suppose there comes a point where the intersection between supported filesystems is empty (we'll reach that point eventually, ext4 and btrfs will eventually be obsolete too), how would you copy from reiserfs to an actually living filesystem? Mounting in 7 other kernels?

Something like tar or rsync over the hypervisor's networking would work just fine. After all, I can tar up a filesystem on a 1980s vintage UNIX system, or run PKZIP on a 1980s vintage DOS system, and uncompress the resulting archive on a modern Linux PC.
