I haven't used XFS in almost two decades, does it have compression support in the same way? Also, does it do JBOD stuff? I know it's a bit of a different thing, but I really enjoy the pool many disks together part of Btrfs, although it has its limitations.

XFS doesn't have inline compression, nor does it have volume management functionality. It's a nice filesystem (and it's very fast) but it's just a filesystem.
