Performance and CPU hit wise on x86_64, XFS seems to match up well with ext4 and maybe even a bit better ratio of throughput/CPUtime for booting workload (systemd is parallel!) so if were the same on ARM XFS could work out slightly better for them.

Is there somewhere where the current test cases for xfs reside?

I can test on both physical arm h/w and in a virtualized environment on arm.  However, for
the most part, arm32 doesn't use Anaconda; images are generated by Releng with kickstarts.  
That said, I can spin up some test images and post them if there is enough interest.
