I believe that by the time I installed Gentoo it was recommended on
the installation handbook. I did not give it much thought. I believed
back then that thanks to LVM I could always grow and shrink my
partitions as needed.
If I had to do it again I would probably go the btrfs route (once they
get fsck working).
Regarding the whole /usr discussion, I trust the developers to know
what they are doing better than I do and I did not find any serious
flaw on their reasoning. It took me just a couple of hours to get the
initrd working, so I did it and moved on. On the other hand I can
understand some people disagree. I do not have a problem with that.
Cheers,
