Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta

I guess it depends on what Btrfs features you are using. I remember SUSE who are using Btrfs as a root fs in the enterprise distro restricting its use to a subset they consider stable.

On the Btrfs status page https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status you can see that the developers themselves consider several features "mostly ok", which is probably not an assessment most filesystem users will find reassuring.

I would actually be okay with Red Hat applying the same restriction SUSE did.

For what it's worth, this is the feature set SUSE offers: https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/15/#TechI...

I would be absolutely okay if Red Hat applied the same restrictions.

Has SuSE turned these off, or are they going to tell you "you shouldn't have used this feature" when you go for support?

They are switched off. You can't use them. They patch btrfs-progs to prevent accessing those features.
