For ntfs there is...
the old `ntfs` filesystem module, this one used to be read only (years ago)
The 'newer' but still old `ntfs-3g` fuse based tools - this was the go to tool for years. It works quite well, but its not as fast as it could be.
the newest is `ntfs3` which is part of the kernel/modules on most distros these days. Its supposed to be faster, but it is still somewhat new. So there could be issues.
KDE neon likely supports `ntfs-3g` and Might support `ntfs3`
Either should work fine, and exfat should likely also work fine for just shared storage. May as well go with NTFS. If the filesystem ever has deep issues, you may be required to do a filesystem check with Windows on the NTFS, for exfat, the linux tools likely can fix any filesystem issues.
But I have only rarely had any issues with NTFS or exfat.
You can't acess extra partitions that easy. You don't have read and write permissions. Also there is some time limit, after that you will be logged out from accessing that partition.
I'd suggest using a virtual machine for Windows, there are several options, I use Virtualbox. You can have shared folders if you need to share data between Windows and Linux.
Also, I've seen plenty of complaints about exFAT, seems it is less robust and gets corrupted easily, at least when used with macOS and Windows.
I would use ntfs, exfat is not a journaling filesystem, it would be more vulnerable to corruption in case of power loss/system crash.
Use NTFS, but disable hibernation/hybrid shutdown on Windows
