Is re-creating btrfs-filesystems *recommended* in any way?

Does that actually make a difference in the fs-structure?

So far I assumed it was enough to keep the kernel up2date, use current
(stable) btrfs-progs and run some scrub every week or so (not to mention
backups .. if it ain't backed up, it was/isn't important).
