With the caveat that contemporary Linux desktops have mechanisms to mount NTFS volumes directly, and some like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed include BitLocker-compatible drivers. If you are using just Windows and Linux desktops then you can probably use NTFS everywhere you need it. I have a small USB SSD with my emergency virtual machine for work needs. It's NTFS w/ BitLocker, VirtualBox VM images and config, and it works seamlessly on my Tumbleweed machines.
But for portability with my iPad and Windows and Tumblweed? It has to be exFAT. No choice here.
