Here's my story about the features I lost between 10.8 -> 10.9 -> 10.11 -> 10.13.

tl;dr Web Sharing, Notes sync, iCal sync, HFS+, apps sync.

I gained NVME drivers for using larger SSDs, so tolerated the changes, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the leap to ARM M1 if Big Sur is holding me back so much.

ZFS?

All I need from a filesystem is to be able to mount it and read and write files.

APFS isn't writeable on Linux or Windows without additional drivers. Nor is HFS+. It's quite inconvenient. If ZFS was usable in that way, I'd consider it! But for now I still have to keep my boot volume as HFS+ so I can at least read files, and use FAT32 to shuttle data around.
