It kinda seems like you don’t need to be using btrfs. If the possibility of your kernel updates breaking scared you off zfs, a system that has been in very widespread use for just going off the dome twice as long as btrfs has been around, why do you think using btrfs is somehow okay?
I’m not trying to suggest you use zfs either.
E: I went and looked and zfs has been in widespread use for around twice as long as btrfs has been marked as *stable*. It’s worth mentioning too that since being marked as stable btrfs has suffered from a silent data corruption bug.

I’m not sure what you are suggesting as the alternative. Nor do I know what silent btrfs corruption bug you are referring to, either. Btrfs has been widely deployed in enterprise and personal environments for years, and I cannot find evidence of data loss due to the file system itself.
