In Ubuntu btrfsmaintenance is an optional package, whereas SLES has it
default installed (at least last time I have checked it).

Is it suggestive/recommendable to install btrfsmaintenance on every system?

I don't personally use it, but to each their own. It's really up to
you and your use case. I use btrfs to store media files, so read heavy
workload not much writing. I don't run balance at all unless I need to
which I'm comfortable with just doing manually, and I schedule my own
scrub jobs.

Same. But I'm also biased in that I'm looking for bugs. 

I did just bump this older thread from July, enabling periodic dynamic reclaim in the kernel by default on data bg's only.
