I'm wanting to move my maildir folder to a different disk that has a Window file system. However, the file system does not allow colons (:) in file names, which Maildir uses in some file names by default. There is an option for Maildir to use another character in place of a colon. Exclamation point is common. However, I've read a warning that "you will probably loose compatibility with other programs trying to read the same Maildir." when using this option.

I only use mutt for reading this mail. Can mutt handle exclamation marks in place of a colon in filenames?

After looking at the source code I'm afraid this is not possible in mutt nor neomutt at the moment. Links lead to latest commits in master branch as of now. In both cases the colon separator is hardcoded in the source code.
