No, that wont work, you might be able to format a microSD on the device as NTFS when connected to a computer, but im not sure if the device has NTFS support built into the kernel.
NTFS is proprietary microsoft crap, and has only recently been reverse engineered well enough to be usable on any linux system.

Only lately the kernel drivers support writing (and it is unstable yet I think). ntfs-3g is more likely to work...

How about ext3? There's kernel support for that.

I'm kinda bummed that so much of the device is tied up in fat32 as well.
Personally, I'd much rather see the whole internal storage be ext3, and optionally fat32/ntfs/whatever for the microsd for those who want usb stick functionality

The specs have been fully and publicly documented for many years.
I am not a customer, so I do not interact with them at all.

It's a shame that after all these years FAT32 is still the de-facto standard for mobile storage.
Any ideas if formatting it NTFS would be ok?
