I believe the most recent issues I've seen documented with it are around the built in RAID5/6 implementation not being fully stable. I haven't used any of it myself so I can't comment on the rest of it. (I did use it on an external drive like 5-6 years ago and had issues that I know have been fixed, but haven't retried it).

They should have kept RAID behind yellow tape for years to come. There's just too many problems that can bite you once a physical disk fails and you really need that RAID to recover.

Yeah, but the distributions are a bit at fault as well. If you use btrfs on SuSE you cannot use RAID5/6 because it is not supported.
