You're probably right. Emprically it works well enough readonly in 2.3.21 (the kernel I have on my machine at work and I know that it's survived a couple of "find"s over the whole of my NTFS partition in the last week) but I note the write code (which is horribly broken anyway) still uses update_vm_cache. My home machine _had_ got 2.3.26 on it but, thinking about it, I doubt that I've done any more than mount the filesystem - anyway it doesn't even mount in .31 (and it leaves a corrupt entry in the super_blocks list which then hoses the whole machine because sync fails).
It _has_ been fixed for the 64bit arithmetic problems so the corpse is still twitching a bit if nothing else.
