Because of the write hole, right? I've been avoiding btrfs because of that issue. Multiple copies are too wasteful and the parity implementation isn't perfect. Hope it gets fixed soon.

That was recently fixed in mdadm. You can now specify a journal device (--write-journal) which closes the write hole. I don't see any reason btrfs couldn't do something equivalent.
