If I don't have ECC does that mean I shouldn't use BTRFS ?
The chance of data corruption due to memory errors is rare, but it does
happen. If it happened and you were using ext4, the result wouldn't be that
everything is fine, it's that you'd have corrupted data -- hopefully not
important, but... you won't know.
Now, I don't think btrfs's current state of "now your system won't boot
and
you need to be an expert to figure out what's going on" is ideal either, but
it's a rare situation and recovery tools will improve.
