I've been avoiding bcachefs because the main author always seem to be stirring up some kind of internet drama. If they recommend users to stay away from Debian, I take that as a good reason to use Debian over other distros. I like Debian's stability and don't really need my filesystem to move fast and break things. If this is the direction bcachefs is going, I don't think it's ever going to be a good platform to run an OS on top of.

As far as I can tell, bcachefs is in "move fast and fix things" phase, where the dev is iterating to bring the fs from experimental to actually usable, and I can imagine it's quite stressful if some segment of your existing users are being given a version with known serious bugs.
