To reply myself, both glibc and musl defines:
statvfs->f_namemax = statfs->f_namelen;

TL;DR: 6 * 255 = 1530 due names being in UTF-8:

Therefore looking into kernel sources for statfs->f_namelen:

include/linux/nls.h
#define NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE 6 /* for UTF-8 */

=== exfat ===
exfat/exfat_raw.h
#define EXFAT_MAX_FILE_LEN 255

exfat/super.c
static int exfat_statfs(struct dentry *dentry, struct kstatfs *buf)
{
	...
    /* Unicode utf16 255 characters */
    buf->f_namelen = EXFAT_MAX_FILE_LEN * NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE;

=== vfat ===
include/uapi/linux/msdos_fs.h
#define FAT_LFN_LEN 255     /* maximum long name length */

fat/inode.c
static int fat_statfs(struct dentry *dentry, struct kstatfs *buf)
{
	...
    buf->f_namelen =
        (sbi->options.isvfat ? FAT_LFN_LEN : 12) * NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE;

=> i.e. for vfat without long filename support it'd be 72.

How about
1) don't skip exfat and vfat but just skip creating file with valid name? or

2) Add #define NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE 6 and for vfat and exfat calculate
length as: buf.f_namemax / NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE - 1 ?

Kind regards,
Petr
