I use BTRFS in RAID10 and it works well. I've been running it on 3 servers for more than a year under near 24/7 load and haven't run into any issues with the filesystem. However, it's not a "production" setup where I've even attempted to maintain 99.999% uptime, it's just a personal project doing data processing. Also, I don't have any benchmarks to say whether it's faster or slower than another filesystem.
