Ask HN: How Reliable Is Btrfs?

I’ve always been reluctant to use BTRFS, primarily because I once experienced data loss on a VM many years ago, and due to the numerous horror stories I'd read over the years. However, many distributions like Fedora or OpenSUSE have made it the default filesystem.

So, I’m wondering how reliable and performant BTRFS is these days? Do you use it, or do you still prefer other filesystems? Feel free to share your experience and preferences.
