As a marker...

Tested a Fedora 35 system with the new Paragon ntfs3 driver. I created an NTFS
drive with KDE Partition manager and attached as "/home2" (that is, listed in
/etc/fstab with some "magic dust" for selinux).

I was able to create a user on that filesystem, copy files across, see that
they were being picked up and indexed (with balooctl monitor), tag them, add a
"tags" column in Dolphin and jump back and forth between the "tag folders". I
think that's not so bad...

This is very much a "Toe In The Water" test but there's no immediate evidence
of calamity (device numbers and inodes _do_ seem stable and the baloo index is
living on the same drive). However I don't know enough to say whether ntfs3 is
stable and when you could trust it with real data.

The Magic Dust I used was:

    UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   /home2   ntfs3  
rw,relatime,context="system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0" 0 0
