In fact the OS is just a minimal rescue OS. On a second partition we run our 
main OS, which is ‘properly’ installed.
So, I’m afraid using a ‘proper’ file system wouldn’t fit our use case. We run 
the rescue OS as RAMdisk to be able to self-update it without having to worry 
about modifying a mounted file system.

For the OS image I use cpio.gz as file system. It gets booted as a RAMdisk. 
Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Would you consider switching to a proper filesystem?  The peril of using a 
cpio.gz is that every file you add slows the boot down: using a proper 
filesystem solves this.
