but always no utilities to cleanly repair the filesystem

I’ll take the potential risk for a corrupted filesystem in exchange for the other benefits of btrfs. Snapshots are the killer feature for me.

I just make sure I’ve got a cloud backup of my personal files, just in case. But that’s good practice anyway

Have you looked into ZFS? Enterprise strength/reliability - and snapshots too…

Well, given 5.10 introduced a 2000% performance hit I would certainly hope 5.11 is making some progress clawing that back.
