Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: To use the kernel's driver, exfatprogs can be used in place of exfat-utils.

Maybe exfat-utils can be made into a split-package, separating the utilities and FUSE driver.
You could pursue that while waiting for linux-lts to move to a 5.4+ base.
