APFS doesn't checksum the data. You've been deceived.

BTRFS still cannot be trusted for various reasons. It was deprecated as of RHEL 7.4

Being deprecated in RHEL means nothing; Red Hat didn't have any btrfs people anyway. They have all the xfs people, so that's what they focus on.

What reasons? openSUSE is defaulting to btrfs. snapper is really sweet.

Because RHEL kernels are very old and the maintenance burden of backporting btrfs changes is too great (and fragile).

That sounds like a problem with RHEL, not a problem with btrfs

For the end user it's a problem with the ecosystem. Red Hat needs to keep the kernel patched for a very long time and some pieces move way too fast.

Right, it's not a btrfs problem other than btrfs is moving too quickly and RHEL's kernel stands still (by design).
