Btrfs is amazing for a steam library. The single best feature is the compression. Games tend to have lot of unoptimized assets which compress really well. Because decompression is typically faster than your disk, it can potentially make games load faster too.
I put a second dedicated nvme drive in my PC just for steam. It's only 512GB but it holds a surprisingly large library.
and ~~my axe~~ deduping. all those dlls and wine prefixes that contain them occupy space only once.
