I later found (very few) sources that confirmed that Grub is not compatible
with the current XFS level 5, that SuSE created a patch for the problem but
it wasn't adopted upstream.
It is merged upstream[1], but last GRUB release was 2.02 beta 2, which
is almost two years old. If you have no qualms about using grub-git
from AUR, there will be no problems with XFS, even with v5 superblock.

Great, I'll try that. Thanks for replying.
