Where did you read that? AFAIK the default continues to be ext4.
I thought I recalled it being the default during install the last time
I performed one.
The Fedora Server installation defaults to XFS. Workstation defaults to ext4.
For your use case either filesystem will work. Use what you are
comfortable with. Both are stable, supported, and will give you full
performance from your setup.
Use XFS. It is stable; never needs fsck. If ext4 needs to repair it will take
days/weeks on a filesystem that size, and need insane amounts of RAM (if the
NAS is hosting this, it may not have much RAM).
Both will work until you need to fsck (eg power outage or other instant/unclean
shutdown). After that, you will wish you were using XFS.
