EROFS is already out of staging in mainline right now,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/erofs/

If you agree on that, I'd suggest you try it right now
since it's widely (200+ million devices on the market)
deployed for our Android smartphones and fully open source
and open community. I think this is not a regrettable
attempt and we can response any question.

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191024033259.GA2513@hsiangkao-HP-ZHAN-66-Pro-G1

In my personal opinion, just for Android use cases,
I think it is worth taking some time.

Thanks,
