I use btrfs a lot but I'm not sure if I'd use it for production servers. The I/O bandwidth is just a lot lower and I get weird latency problems on desktop Linux when BTRFS is very busy that I don't get on other file systems. Then again, I probably wouldn't use ZFS for anything but a NAS setup either.

The default is to coalesce trim requests into large batches and issue them once per minute or so. Most other filesystems don't use online trim. This can cause latency spikes. If you'll ever decide to try it out again, try disabling online trim.
