My impression is different. It's btrfs that is a poor choice for people who want to run 32-bit software, have a lot of file creations/deletions, and do not want to reformat and reinstall periodically. The situation with XFS, for example, is different because you can supply the inode32 mount option and get 32-bit applications going again, maybe after making in-place copies of a few files.
