I have severe allocation issues in btrfs with recent kernels and recent btrfs-tools when using thousands of snapshots. All the community had to offer was "well, try to restrict yourself to at most a few hundred snapshots". btrfs rebalance brings the whole system to a halt until it has finished, since it places some kind of lock on the file system. The effect on the system's other seervice is severe up to "sit back and wait until system becomes responsive again". That's not what I'd call production ready. It's simply just betafs at the moment.
