Btrfs has such a bad rep right now, but because such comments like yours lack any specifics I don't know if I should worry if all my systems with a simple btrfs root partition are going to spontaneously corrupt one day. Can anyone give concrete examples of what's wrong with btrfs?

Lilo doesn't support it. Other than that I have no problem with it. I think it had some problems with being declared "prod ready" by some vendors with some certain kernel version, and then a bunch of redhat users went off and tried it with ancient kernels and lost data.
To me, this is just ext4 all over again. That filesystem was _terrible_ in the early days. Ext4 is pretty ok now, just slow...
