IT folk:
Are there any significant drawbacks of serving NTFS partitions with Samba from a Linux-based NAS box?

I agree and expect performance to be the biggest downside. And things can always go south with that driver as I don't think it gets enough testing under heavy workloads, its primary use cases being, as already mentioned — data recovery, and copying files from/to your Windows partition when dual booting, not serving it over the network. Any filesystem can get corrupt of course, but this one just might have higher chance 🤷
