Jolla responded, but just acknowledging the request: https://together.jolla.com/question/...#post-id-67564
Hopefully they'll say something more detailed on this matter later.

What do people here think a good compromise would be then?

I was under the impression that reformatting an SD card isn't exactly a technical feat.
@Vertu, that is my answer to your question too.

If ever possible (what I definitely not believe!) the buy-your-exFAT would be the best. But -as said- this is not the way it will be 
Even this may not be liked by a lot:
we/you should also recognize that the Jolla is not a niche product, sold only to 'nerds'. If they would have aimed at that market only we would not have this device at all.
So I am not happy with that M$ license, too. But will accept Jolla to want to claim their SDXC compatibility for advertisement reasons.

FAT32 (as the overall file system) has the 4GB file size limit.
