Wondering:

Will the new[er] version[s] of MacOSX handle HFS+?  If so than a HFS+ 
formatted /home (or /Users) partition might make sense.  Eg have the system 
arranged with a APFS MacOSX root file system, an Ext4 Ubuntu root file system, 
and a HFS+ formatted /home (or /Users) partition, (plus swap partition(s)).  
This would allow for sahred *user* data files (documents, photos, etc.) that 
both O/Ss can access.  *I* didn't know about Apple's "new and improved(?)" 
file system games (is Apple taking a page out of Microsoft book?)...
