Using exFAT under macOS over a period of a few years led to many of my drives becoming corrupted. I have not had issues since I switched away from exFAT. I am convinced that macOS's exFAT driver is just horribly buggy, and I encourage everyone to stop using it.
If you a multiplatform filesystem for e.g. a USB thumb drive, I have had a lot of success with UDF. Surprisingly so, given that it's basically a hack. https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf This won't work on drives over 2TB, however.
