I use xfs since it is the only one that I have zero issues with. Also, I don’t need flatpaks (rarely do), the AUR basically has everything I personally need.
Comment on My least favorite thing about Flatpak

Flatpak already does deduplicating for you on all filesystems.
I’ve run into a few programs that rarely got updated on the AUR but got regular Flatpak updates. The AUR wrappers are only so good as the people maintaining them…

I can count my installed AUR programs on my fingers.

Wait, what now?

Flatpak does deduplication already (there are tools you can use to check the stats) but for what remains you can try tools like Duperemove to do some file-level deduplication on file systems that support it.
I’ve cleaned up a couple of gigabytes of duplicates on my BTRFS partition this week, this stuff is almost essential if you deal with stuff like node_modules and Python virtualenvs.
