As a different guess, Ceph is evolving to no longer require an underlying filesystem, and Red Hat would rather support Ceph.

But, having put together a BTRFS RAID 5, I wouldn't recommend it, even if the data loss problems get fixed. Scrubbing a large RAID 5 filesystem is interminably slow. BTRFS is happy to let all writes go to RAM until a flush is requested. At that point, the system comes to a grinding halt while all that data is written out to the drives.
