You could _hope_ that the filesystem is consistent enough that it is
safe to try to read config files, binaries, etc. without running the
journal, but there is absolutely no guarantee that this is the case.
I'm not sure you want to depend on that for swsusp.
One potential solution that would probably meet your needs is a dm
hack which reads in the blocks in the journal, and then uses the most
recent block in the journal in preference to the version on disk.
