You are mistaken :) The current version is pretty stable, as long as you
don't use compression or dedup. Some problems have been reported with
weird setups (USB disks for example), but I haven't seen any reports of
unrecoverable filesystems.

For btrfs bugs are still fixed on a daily basis, and some reports of
people with corrupted and unrecoverable filesystems.

Neither supports encryption.

I might consider ZFS for a production environment (although it's
officially not production ready), but I don't think btrfs is ready for
that yet. If you want to be safe, use ext4 with drbd or rsync.
