btrfs send will not corrupt your primary filesystem, it takes a read
only subvolume and sends its data somewhere else.
At worst, it can (and has in the fact) create incorrect data on the
destination, and I've never seen a single report of it actually
corrupting the destination filesystem (the destination subvolume can
correct incorrect data, but that wouldn't corrupt the existing data on
the destination).
