Thanks, I went with EXFAT.

I've been retired for  years, but worked in  a group that replaced SGI IRIX4 with macOS.  We used EXFAT on
external drives.  We had colleagues scattered around the globe, so there were often problems with filenames
using unicode, including "look alike" characters (hyphen, long dash, etc.), so sometimes needed to rename files
and record the original name in a text do.
