The uppercase/lowercase issue is only one annoyance. The biggest problem with any fat filesystem, in my opinion, is that it can't handle proper file permissions. Everything is executable, and there is no way to properly limit user access to files.
What this means to me is that fat is the worst choice to use for any part of a linux system, other than on a separate partition for data shared between Windows and Linux. I strongly suggest not using it for anything mounted outside of /mnt. Having a real linux filesystem for your persistent home will mean a little extra work if you want to share files with Windows, but as I see it you'll have fewer problems.
