Believe it or not, Wikipedia has you covered on some big ones:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS#Performance_considerations

(And disadvantages section.)

I mostly used lowest common denominator of it with backups, clusters, and so on. Any other issues I countered with storage design and recovery procedures. I often did recovery around once a week or month to prevent silent buildup of issues. So, there might be issues I'm not aware of but it worked fine almost every time.

Another commenter mentioned audio skips which happened to maybe a handful of my own files out of GB of music. Could be one of those issues or a quirk with that commenter's setup.
