For most use-cases, yes. But not if you plan on using raid5+ [0]

My own experience indicates it's brittle to power failures and will corrupt in annoying ways in the event of a power failure (or hard reboot) as of ~1 year ago.

I was running whatever Arch's Linux kernel was at the time. 5.4 I believe? Arch is pretty much bleeding edge, so year is relevant.
