Since a year I literally daily turn of my machine by pulling a plug (home automation turns off all plugs at midnight to make me go bed ;).

My quite large 1tb multivolume, multisnapshot BTRFS fs never had any problems.

And it's quite aggressive cfg (big fs commit).

P.S. I do have backups though.

Ugh. You are testing your home the Netflix way [1] :-)

Why not putting poweroff in a cron task a bit before midnight so you don't uselessly risk hosing your file system? You can always restore your backup but it takes time!
