Things can be a little more nuanced.
First off, I'm not even sure btrfs supports a hot spare currently. I
haven't seen anything along those lines recently in the list - and don't
recall anything along those lines before either. The current mention of
it in the Project Ideas page on the wiki

I'm planning to set up a raid6 array with 4 x 4TB drives.
Presumably that would result in 8TB of usable space + parity, which is
about enough for my data (my data is currently 5TB in raid1, slowly
growing at about 1 TB per year, but I often keep some additional backups
if space permits).
