I've been using btrfs on my home NAS (a custom build) and on my Linux laptops with SSDs since 2012. I run Fedora on everything which I think helps because I've never been stuck on an old kernel with old, stupid bugs. Only the freshest bugs for me!
The NAS had two WD Red drives fail over the years with bad blocks. Not at the same time. They were detected and I replaced them with new bigger drives. Since 2012 I added more drives until now it is at 6 drives in RAID10: 4x6 TB and 2x4 TB.
I've had out of space errors on my laptops which I had to repair by adding more storage so I could successfully rebalance. Stealing the swap partition worked great for that.
Never lost any data or had any corrupt files.
Also, I always build with quality Gold standard PSUs, ECC RAM, and run my systems always plugged into an APC UPS. So I've never tried to recover a system that crashed after a lightning storm, built with WD Green drives in external USB enclosures plugged into a $2 power-strip and an HP "desktop" built out of an old laptop motherboard and the cheapest PSU HP could dig out of the trash pile.
