Apart from this fact, I've never heard of an issue such as data loss,
by giving a partition a label or by renaming the label.

IIUC "scandisk extreme portable SSD" are external USB drives. I suspect
that performance of what so ever file system doesn't really matter for
whatsoever it is used. Even tuning by "noatime", disabling "journaling"
or whatsoever and selecting the most optimized file system, related to
performance for the field of application, almost all of the times, if
not always, doesn't gain something noticeable, even not by internal SATA
connected modern HDDs, let alone modern SSDs. In you case the bottleneck
is USB.

I don't worry about performance and wear of modern SSDs.

Internally I'm using SSDs only and externally I'm using HDDs only.

In issue might be trimming.

I'm curious how trimming should be handled for external SSDs in general
and when sharing them by different operating systems.
