Not sure about btrfs choice for storing image you will have to use the nocow plus I'm not certain that raid especially the level 6 is mature enough on btrfs ( regarding its difficulties to maintain itself up and running without assistance ) Software raid6 is still cpu expensive, for myself I'm using a good hardware controller and which handle raid6 + battery in case of crash.
