Although CIS compliance (for "security" of assets) may be a requirement,
it is not infallible and often gives a false sense of being secure from

We use EXT4 mostly. We find it to be more robust for lab machines, and more
efficient for VMs. XFS is limited to cases where its more advanced features are
useful. We treat our user facing systems as being "disposable", if they develop
a software/filesystem issue we usually wipe and reinstall ra
XFS is a from the ground up journaling filesystem, whereas EXT4 is still a
journal tacked on filesystem.
That's said EXT4 has caught up to XFS and in some specific
cases exceeded its performance but not all.
The short version is it depends on what you are doing both have pros and
