Hell no! It's a truly ancient kernel, from the times btrfs wasn't considered stable. There's a lot of backports atop it, which for a quickly evolving filesystem are pretty unsafe unless there's a large team doing that work. And unlike SLES, there's none. This led to notorious breakages, with Red Hat finally declaring btrfs unsupported on their distributions. Thus, if you care about your data at all, please use a modern kernel.
