There are other filesystems that are or can be mounted case-insensitive too: exFAT, NTFS, JFS, XFS, ext4, f2fs, zfs.

ext4 and f2fs is a bit complicated. NTFS can be mounted with mount.lowntfs-3g. I think the easiest ones are vfat, exfat, jfs and zfs. I just tried jfs and zfs and it seems to work fine. Just in case you want to use a more sophisticated (journaled) filesystem than vfat/exfat.

truncate -s 256M /tmp/jfs.img
mkfs.jfs -O /tmp/jfs.img
mount /tmp/jfs.img /mnt

truncate -s 256M /tmp/zfs.img
zpool create testpool /tmp/zfs.img
zfs create -o casesensitivity=insensitive testpool/outbound

You could also use Squish on Linux.
