It seems to be the case here. At the least for Debian Installer, it doesn't have any warning like "Use btrfs on your own risk, it currently considered as experimental and unstable".

(Proof-link: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/btrfs.txt?id=refs/tags/v3.16.36) So it should be expected that btrfs module for this version of Linux kernel is very buggy and dangerous. But on the other hand, somehow it managed to survive freeze phase and make its way into Debian Stable.
