I have btrfs on a netbook spanning two differently sized SSDs as a
single volume (running Arch, which is a revelation after Ubuntu). It
just works, but I'm not sure it could be recovered other than from
backup if it broke, and I wouldn't use it with a pre 2.6.38 / 3.0
kernel, as I had some (unrecoverable) issues with much earlier version
(on VMs). The machine also has an encrypted (ecryptfs) home.
In summary, I'm very content with it, and I take regular backups.
