I have been using F2FS for quite a few years, both on SATA SSD and M.2 PCIe stick. Worked great.

But I wonder how it compares to NILFS2. I tried that one a decade ago to make a bootable USB stick and it also worked great, eta least compared to ext4.

I know both are log-based and deep down NILFS2 makes different tradeoffs, which makes NILFS2 make longer for initial mount IIRC, but IIRC it was friendlier WRT wear&tear.

I wonder how do they compare now. I can’t find anything even remotely current on the subject…
