I've been rocking raid 5/6 btrfs for years for my personal data, no problems apart from the speed. A scrub literally takes months.

Months? I thought it would just go through all the data and verify that the stored checksums match. Even if it fetches filedata more than once to ensure the parity bits are ok, how can it take longer than reading the entire disk a couple times?

Well this is just a desktop not a server, it isn't on 24/7.

Yeah same here. Directory deletions are excruciatingly slow too.
