I find it best to not change the file system on USB/SD cards as 
portability is the reason for such devices and I don't know of a 
computer than doesn't read exfat.

Cameras, tablets, and like devices on the other hand are less flexible 
and accept little but exfat.

I would never build a computer using excfat as a file system, but it's 
very vices as a computer file system are virtues in a portable device.


Back in the day I had floppies,and Amigas.  Now the Amniga FFS could 
format a HD floppy to 1.6 meg.  Quite a bit better that the fat 1.2.  
However as I mainly used floppies to give people files I almost never 
formatted them as FFS.  Winders could not read it.  My harddrives on the 
other hand benefited from the FFS system.

The best file system isn't always the best files system for the job.
