You can, and probably should, have an hourly cron job that does
something like
btrfs dev stats -c / || Command to sound sysadmin alarm

the only difference here is that this is not, at this time, already
baked into distros by default.  I think I saw mention of a project
recently to to build a package that automates common btrfs maintenance
tasks?
