It was easy to miss if you don't know the name Josef Bacik, but he's one of the upstream Btrfs maintainers. He said here in this thread yesterday that it's not ready as a default. That's basically the end of the discussion of whether to make it the default.

It's not the best solution as a default when the people working on it full time say it's not ready to be the default.

What it will take: it needs more time in the oven.
