Not if you want Time Machine; stay on HFS+ if you're a dev and want easier cross-platform support.



One of my family members is using Time Machine and is on Catalina, which forces APFS -- is there something I should be worried about (outside of cross-platform support)?


Directory hard links are not available in APFS. Even though your internal drive is APFS, your Time Machine backup drive is probably still HFS+.
