In the interim xfs has become a first class citizen, moving from a rhel add-on to supported in the base distro. I presume xfs has quite a large installation base (I have certainly used it heavily in the past for large filesystems) among rhel customers. It might be as simple as limiting the number of supported filesystems.

More than that, XFS is currently the default option for the root filesystem and the other created-by-default file systems/partitions.

reflinking via CoW's been working well for a while now, since 4.9 or thereabouts.
