I don't have one unfortunately, so cannot test it on the different operating systems; does for example windows ask to format it to exfat anyway? Does it work on linux?
Yes. See the discussion which relates to USB keys but most of the same issues will follow for SD...

It's unlikely UDF works on consumer devices such as cameras.

Alternative filesystem support is a sideshow though. The issue is "Do you want to support standards that rely on patents or closed licences?" and that issue has already left the building as Jolla ships with many of those already - Exchange, GSM, MP3, H.264, HERE Maps.... and people have signed up for 128GB SDHC (sic) support expecting it making the 'controversy' over exFAT all the more stupid.
