However, what will you do when you can ONLY enter fastboot ? (not recovery) ?
I just can't see how would flashing the "sailfish" partition help if your bootloader is broken up to the point you can't boot to recovery.

If fastboot works but recovery partition or kernel is damaged, you have two options. either flash those only, or boot your own kernel with a recovery initrd with ssh, telnet, whatever.

If fastboot doesn't work, you're fscked. I don't know how to fix that (basically we only know how to fix that for the N900). I don't know what kind of damage you have to do in order to break fastboot, either.
