Comparing zfs/btrfs with ext4 is not entirely fair. They're in different domains when it comes to scope and features. To some extent, silent corruption in ext4 is expected but in zfs it's a bug.
My personal approach to filesystem evaluation is pretty much "How long has it been since I've seen someone talk about a data loss bug". This is my first time hearing one for ZFS. BTRFS seems to have at least one post a year. Ext4 has almost none, but maybe that's because people trust it and blame hardware when unsure what the issue is.
