No, certainly not until there's a working fsck tool -- at the moment
it's rather easy to kill a btrfs by just losing power.

I just added a paragraph to the main page of the wiki about this,
since we've had a few people on IRC express surprise that their
filesystem aren't fixable after power loss.  Feel free to reword:

   Note that Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors.
   While Btrfs is stable on a stable machine, it is currently possible
   to corrupt a filesystem irrecoverably if your machine crashes or
   loses power.  This will be fixed when the fsck tool is ready.
