btrfs has eaten my data within the last decade. (not even because of the broken erasure coding, which I was careful to avoid!) not sure I'm willing to give it another chance. I'd much rather use zfs.

I used reiserfs for awhile after I noticed it eating data (tail packing for the power loss) but quickly switched to xfs when it became available.

Speed is sometimes more important than absolute reliability, but it’s still an undesirable tradeoff.
