Win 10 home theater PC file system

Is it ok to swap over to Linux as long as the boot drive is reformatted as Ext4 but my storage drives are NTFS?

I have a Win 10 home theater pc that I use for plex and gaming. I want to swap over to Linux but my drives are formatted in NTFS. I have heard that while Linux can read and write NTFS, there is a possibility of corruption. I have a separate OS drive that I can reformat.

I really don’t have the spare cash right now to buy another HDD to pull over files before reformatting my current drives.
