Linux Filesystems

What's wrong with it?

  mount -o compress=zstd /dev/sdx /mnt

I have to wonder if bcachefs will do better in the long run than btrfs.

Please stop spreading FUD, this is simply not true.

I would argue that most problems that people experience with btrfs today are because of hardware issues, btrfs is simply detecting those errors thanks to checksumming.

Yes, it is slower than other filesystems and RAID 5/6 is still unstable but blaming btrfs for everything is simply wrong.
