Oh don’t worry, knowing me, I would create it, use it for a single drive and never touch it again. Its the fun of creation that counts
Comment on Could I just create my own drive format?

Yes, but it would probably be a multi-decade, career-defining project if you want it to be any good. It would likely work with all files since it’s all just data once you get to the FS level anyway, but other devices would need an appropriate driver (that you would also need to write) in order to use it.
Note that I’m not an expert in this field, so others should correct me if I’ve got something wrong here.

Doesn’t have to be world changing or even practical. A project like that would still teach you a ton about storage hardware, how file systems work, programming, mathematics etc. Some of these lessons could even be useful, but above all, a project like this should be fun and interesting.
Why do you think people install Linux and run Doom on all the weirdest hardware they can find. This is the spirit that drives innovation.
Don’t let expectations hold you back. Make your own FS, and have fun.

I do think it would be fun, I would also love to just have a bit of tech that is “all my own” in a way

Besides, having your own FS is pretty bad ass in the same way as running Linux From Scratch.

Also, once you finish your filesystem, don’t murder your wife or otherwise people will stop using it.

Actually there are technical reasons for it being removed from the kernel, reiserfs does not account for the year 2038 problem
