My short recommendation: Do not use BTRFS with Linux 3.10. Use BTRFS with a lot more recent kernel. My personal recommendation is at least 4.6. Will it fail with 3.10? Probably not, probably yes. Especially in the area of free space management (the long time out of space issues) BTRFS developers implemented tons of significant improvements since 3.10.
