SLES is a recommended platform for SAP, and that has had btrfs as the default filesystem since version 12 in 2014.

I'm using btrfs on several systems, laptop, desktop and server, on various configurations of disks.

It has served me well for years, on the server it helped me detect a bad SATA controller. It would work perfectly in light usage, but start introducing errors in heavy usage, which made one disk inconsistent with the others in the storage pool.

Btrfs alerted me to this and after moving the disk to a good controller, I ran btrfs-check --repair on the unmounted disk (after reading the warnings), which got the FS back to a consistent state, remounted the whole pool and ran a btrfs scrub to get everything back in line with itself. The whole process did take a while, but I had backups and wanted to try out the tools. In the end there was no data loss, and the pool is still running perfectly today.

And they specifically tell you to use XFS for any production deployments.
