Maybe. Have the issues which made XFS less suitable for use on
laptops
been resolved? The primary one I recall was that each mounted
filesystem would have a corresponding kernel thread doing about 20
wakeups per second. This was not really good for battery life and power
consumption in general.
Last I checked (which was 2016 or so) those wakeups were slated to
be
around for a while longer.

And there's still the fun restriction of XFS not being able to shrink. It's
not particularly important in the server case, but in the desktop/laptop
case, it happens enough in my experience that I'm not sure I'd want a
default filesystem that can't shrink.
