I think I found another bug/missing functionality: there are no checks for illegal characters in filenames, like in ntfs-3g, for example one can create files with names containing characters like " * / : < > ? \ | Can anybody else reproduce, and should I report it in the mailing list thread?
Edit: seems like what I'm looking for is equivalent of ntfs-3g "windows_names" mount option.

Note: the driver was merged to the upstream kernel in 5.15. So this package is useless for Arch official kernels.

I made some test using bonnie and pts, this driver seems to be much faster than ntfs-3g

(disregard the read tests, since they were done from page cache)
edit: compilebench in pts, now includes native ext4, the paragon ntfs3 driver performance is comparable
