I disagree; if a user is presented with the following filesystem

choice for the intended installation goal, they're most likely going
to spend a great deal of time reading each paragraph. If you simplify
the choices to 4 instead of 8, the user has less paragraphs to read

Agreed. However, it might be a good compromise to list only the most
common selections, with a button marked Advanced Options (There's
probably a better label, but if so, I can't think of it right now.)
containing the rest. Beginners will, most likely, avoid that, but those
who need/want the more specialized file systems will still have access
to them.
This is something that I totally agree with. And an final commit
button. I have had to abort installs because I missed some setting and
couldn't remember where "That Damn Setting" was and clicked the wrong
button.
