Another concern is whether btrfs is going to work well to store
virtual machine disk images (ie. to replace LVM for that purpose,
where LVM is known to work very efficiently).

Last time I looked -- which I admit was a really long time ago -- it
behaved fairly pathologically with these huge monolithic files that
are rewritten in-place.

(Edit: just noticed this bug:
