I don't know about the robustness of the FAT or NTFS implementations on Linux.
In general: all problems if present are caused by the OS.

It is well known, that the Linux FAT implementation breaks character cases when
doing a restore in case that a file name is all upper case.

Star knowns that the time resolution may only be 2 seconds (FAT).

You need to e.g. find out what happens on Linux with a FAT file with date Y 2106.
