I've been using btrfs for a while now, and while the kernels 3.15.x and 
3.16.{0,1} have been problematic, the latest one is working smooth 
again.

Anyway, I recommend using only the core features (snapshots, raid1, 
scrubs, balances, cp --reflink, etc...), because others have many 
quirks, like send/receive which get corrupted from time to time, raid 
5/6 which is work in progress, or problems related to low free space.

To implement btrfs as the default, grubby must support to install /boot 
on btrfs (bug #1094489). I have to run grub2-mkconfig with every kernel 
update to circumvent this problem.

It is also worth considering adding some scheduled tasks for 
maintenance, like rebalances, or scrubs.
