I have been using XFS for data on dual HDD (RAID1->LVM->LUKS->XFS) on Debian Stretch for more than a year, haven't experienced issues yet. OS is on Ext4 on SDD. I use Urbackup (www.urbackup.org) to backup multiple Windows machines to this box as well as Samba for simple shares. I stayed away from Btrfs after hearing a lot of negative stories. ZFS on FreeBSD is probably better if you need that kind of reliability. I am a one man show currently managing the tech, so I don't really have that kind of mental bandwidth to learn and setup FreeBSD+ZFS right now. But, you may explore that path if you have the time.
