Huh. I've been running btrfs on a number of systems for probably 12 years at this point. One array in particular was 12TiB of raw storage used for storing VM images in heavy use. Each disk had ~9 years of spindle-on time before I happened to look closely at the SMART output and realized that they were all ST3000DM001's and promptly swapped them all out. The only issue I've ever run into is running out of metadata chunks and needing to rebalance, and that was just once.
