Might you have any recommendations of specific ones worth paying attention to right now?

The most advanced one is Redox https://www.redox-os.org/

Thanks for the link. Interesting it looks like Redox is writing their own filesystem or at least reimplementing ZFS:

https://github.com/redox-os/tfs

I wonder how that effects the time horizon for maturity. I've always just assumed that a filesystem takes a good 10 years to be really stable. Maybe my assumptions are way off? Or the facts that its a reimplementation makes that matter much less? Didn't it take BTRFS around this length of be considered production stable?

TFS is very cool. Too sad that ticki has stopped working on it: http://ticki.github.io/blog/why_im_leaving_open_source/

Due to this, I don't know whether it will be ready at all.
