BtrFS will stop being "unstable" when development is done, in 20 years (much like ext*). I run BtrFS on my 2 laptops (one with SSD, one with HDD): the only issue I ran into is metadata space exhaustion: I have well over 100 snapshots and suddenly, the drive becomes unwritable. Once you know that can happen, you're more careful about backups and when to remove the old snapshots. Also, Debian might not be the best place for bleeding-edge stuff like BtrFS: you should consider a distribution with a more recent version of kernel and utils (archlinux, gentoo...)
