[yocto] Does my build disk's filesystem make a difference?

[autif khan]

You are better off with one of the dual boot OSes in a virtual machine
that a dual boot situation where you are trying to write to NTFS from
linux or trying to work with ext2fs tools from windows.

I do not even know if you can create equivalent of symlinks (used
extensively in yocto) on an NTFS

In theory, it might work, but NTFS was not built for linux, likewise,
ext4 was not meant to be used for windows. It is a bad idea.

You know - unless this happens to be your master's research thesis :-)
