Steam for Linux should support exFAT file system if all the proper executables are found. I have everything needed to read/write to the drive installed.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Try to use an exFAT formatted drive to store games.

Any progress on this? I have a drive I share between Windows and Linux, formatted as exFat for convenience. Would be really nice to be able to store Steam games on it.
