BTRFS is never going to become stable. Ever. Just take a quick dive into the codebase.

Bcachefs has never had an unrecoverable data error AFAIK, even though it isn't even considered stable enough to merge into the kernel. The bcache on disk format won't be considered stable until he merges his code into mainline, though he doesn't feel he will need to adjust it further.

Features that currently work: Full data checksumming Compression Multiple device support Tiering/writeback caching RAID1/RAID10

All of these are stable, tested, and mostly bug free. Honestly, once the code gets mainlined you'll be able to start using it very quickly.

Main issue right now is performance, as it about as slow as BTRFS, which isn't inspiring. However the author has stated that he's going for correctness first, then he'll begin optimizing.
