btrfs's RAID features are not production-ready, and at this point I doubt they ever will be. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Implemented_but_not_recommended_for_production_use

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Btrfs-Warning-RAID5-RAID6

ZFS is definitely more robust.

Raid 1 is stable. The problem is that btrfs has performance issues with resilvering a large amount of data. That isn't something that can be fixed as it is a design flaw.

Maybe bcachfs will be production ready at some point

It is true for raid 5 & 6. Raid 0, 1, and 10 are supposed to be production ready. I use raid 10 only with btrfs, anything else and I use zfs or mdadm.

You have to avoid the raid types is lists as not ready. Looks like facebook uses btrfs without issues
