So... can btrfs now be trusted to not crap itself?

What does "Well tested" mean, in this context? Do we have data that
shows roughly how many installs were done in Fedora-land, and how long
they lasted?
(two of the installs in that 7 year period were mine, and ended in
complete filesystem loss across clean shutdown/restart cycles. Hardware
is still in use, and other than a failed fan, hasn't so much as
hiccupped since scrapping btrfs)
