Btrfs is explicitly optimized for SSD, the maintainers worked for FusionIO for several years of its development. If the drive is silently corrupting data, Btrfs will pretty much immediately start complaining where other filesystems will continue. Bad RAM can also result in scary warnings where you don't with other filesytems. And I've been using it in numerous SSDs for years and NVMe for a year with zero problems. On CentOS though, I'd get newer btrfs-progs RPM from Fedora, and use either an elrepo.org kernel, a Fedora kernel, or build my own latest long-term from kernel.org. There's just too much development that's happened since the tree found in RHEL/CentOS kernels. Also FWIW Red Hat is deprecating Btrfs, in the RHEL 7.4 announcement. Support will be removed probably in RHEL 8. I have no idea how it'll affect CentOS kernels though. It will remain in Fedora kernels. Anyway, blkdiscard can be used on an SSD, whole or partition to zero them out. And at least recent ext4 and XFS mkfs will do a blkdisard, same as mksfs.btrfs.
