Well if data corruption is the test then we shouldn't be using Ext4
either, there was one fixed as recently as the beginning of this
month.  File systems are software like anything else, there will be
bugs.  Off the top of my head I can think of 3 data corrupters we've
had in 4 years of working on BTRFS, and they've all been hard to hit
and have not to my knowledge been seen by users, only us developers in
testing.  BTRFS is young, but we have to start somewhere.  Thanks,

Josef
