What are the pros and cons of btrfs? (lemm.ee)

I recently started using Fedora with btrfs, which I think was the default on install. So far all I've noticed is that backups and restores are really fast and easy.

Are there any important things to be aware of, like speed, drive lifespan or energy efficiency?

DDR5 ECC isn't as powerful as real ECC. It only requires 8 extra bits for every 64 bits of data, real ECC requires 16 bits: https://www.faceofit.com/ddr5-ecc-vs-regular-ecc-ram/
