And so it begins. Im debating on weather to go BTRFS or NTFS.
I loose out on BTRFS snapshotting and subvolumes then. And if you look at winbtrefs it’s more than a hobbiest project. It has quite active development progress constantly https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

External USB Disk Encrypted with BitLocker
It seems that there is a project named dislocker that is able to mount bit locker encrypted NTFS partitions. I'm not sure how you would use it on unRAID directly has I don't know which dependency it needs in addition to fuse but you could always try to download the binaries and test it. Otherwise, you can install it easily on any Linux VM if you already got one

Linux can open bitlocker devices, there are tools for that, such as Dislocker, which works on Linux and Mac OS.

Windows Hello, Bitlocker and TPM
just a warning to anyone using this tool: it sometimes miscalculated the size of the bitlocker partition when mounting it, which caused my to corrupt my filesystem when trying to modify my windows filesystem size from linux. recompiling with https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker/pull/252 merged fixed the issue for me
