Does Rockbox have plan to support Microsoft's new exFAT file system?

No.  What is the point?  FAT is good enough for the size of disks in MP3 players, is supported by every OS out there, ....  Adding another would just increase code size and complexity for no real gain.  If someone were to write support I guess it'd be looked at though.

Support for other file systems is actually on the "No Do" list:
