From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Given how flexible RAID1 in btrfs is, I don't really see any benefit in using RAID5/6.
If the devs say "unstable", it's probably unstable.
Fragile. Works great when its working. When thjngs go wrong it’s difficult to see how anything can be salvaged.
Some people in the comments of this claims to use it with real data https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.2-Btrfs-EXT4
If you use it don't forget to use RAID1 for metadata
