Hello,
i have new 32GB SSD in my intel nuc, installed debian9 on it, using btrfs as a rootfs.
Then i created subvolumes /system and /home and moved system there.
System was installed using kernel 4.9.x and filesystem created using btrfs-progs 4.7.x
Details follow:
main filesystem
# btrfs filesystem usage /mnt/btrfs/ssd/
Overall:
Device size: 29.08GiB
Device allocated: 4.28GiB
Device unallocated: 24.80GiB
Device missing: 0.00B
Used: 2.54GiB
Free (estimated): 26.32GiB (min: 26.32GiB)
Data ratio: 1.00
Metadata ratio: 1.00
Global reserve: 16.00MiB (used: 0.00B)

Then i installed kernel from backports:
4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1~bpo9+1
and btrfs-progs 4.17
For backups , i have created 16GB iscsi device on my qnap and mounted it, created filesystem, mounted like this:
LABEL=backup /mnt/btrfs/backup btrfs noatime,space_cache=v2,compress=lzo,subvolid=5,nofail,noauto 0 0
After send-receive operation on /home subvolume, usage looks like this:
# btrfs filesystem usage /mnt/btrfs/backup/

Device allocated: 1.27GiB

Problem is, during send-receive of system subvolume, it runs out of space:
