This read-write driver has been a tremendous help to me, from Linux 5.15 till now. I hope they can soon publish the mkfs tool they committed to previously as well.
This would be wildly slow (if it runs in userspace using FUSE)
The good thing is that the kernel still includes a (better) ntfs driver

NTFS-3G through FUSE is what most people are using. It's slower, but not that slow.
ntfs3 hasn't seen that much large-scale deployment, and you don't have to look very far to find people complaining about ending up with a messed up filesystem from it. I'd put a very modest level of trust in it not eating your data.
Anyway, between FUSE, epoll, DMA, and userspace networking Linux is already enough of a microkernel to benefit from it; so when do our CPU oligopolists plan to turn their shared memory hardware into a useful message passing mechanism?
