Copy on write is likely to introduce significant performance decreases in cases where large or medium size files have a couple bytes changed. It’s usually recommended to turn CoW off on those files; I found it to be more hassle than it’s worth for a root filesystem. It is still a reasonable file system for file storage that looks more like archival - files land there and seldomly or never change. If you don’t have a specific need in mind though, I wouldn’t bother - in my opinion, it’s not great as a general purpose filesystem.

what constitutes an appropriate “need”? Those folks buying a pi to self host a server at home (that may not get much use) are learning and toying around, which is a core goal of the raspberry pi foundation, is it not?
