I'd go further.

It's also a kernel bug in btrfs, which given btrfs has only ever been a
Technology Preview in RHEL, and was moved to being a deprecated feature in 7.4,
I'd suggest that you shouldn't be looking for upstream support on btrfs.

If you're tinkering with btrfs, don't be surprised at having to use a
kernel from elsewhere, as suggested by Pete.

RHEL advice would clearly be not to use btrfs.

I'm curious, is there anything in RHEL 8 that would replace BTRFS or
ZFS?  I'm experimenting with BTRFS on one system and the snapshot and
subvolume features are nice.

I assume Stratis is the general answer.
