Yes it is. It is highly recommended to use a recent kernel to get the most
stable version possible. The FAQ
(https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Is_btrfs_stable.3F) says to keep
backups... a curious comment given our use case :)
I think the only major flaw is that running out of space can cause some
problems that can be difficult to resolve, but this information may be out of
date.
On the plus side, you get fast compression, and you are better protected for
data corruption issues.
