XFS was developed by SGI as a media system, and its design is optimized for long streaming reads and writes. Nevertheless, it performs enough better than ext4 at short random I/O that both Oracle and PostgreSQL recommend it over ext4 for database applications. And that's for a usage type that it is NOT optimized for. Bacula's OS workload for storage is long, streaming reads and writes. Exactly what XFS *IS* optimized for.
