I think your base issue is that the DB corrupts. It shouldn´t.

I only experienced it in two situations:

1) BTRFS hung during an akonadictl vacuum.

2) Two mysqld processes where running on the same database:

[Akonadi] [Bug 340813] sometimes two copies of mysqld are running with 
Akonadi

Otherwise I suggest putting up a feature request in the bug tracker as 
well.

Also check the kdepim-users mailinglist for the discussion of a bunch of 
issues with KDEPIM and Akonadi and ideas to workaround some of them.

Ciao,
