I ran several Stretch machines with btrfs.  One was my daily driver.  I 
never did any maintenance.  After a year or so, the daily driver started 
slowing down, and Thunderbird starting losing e-mail messages when I 
tried to save them to my local disk (!).


I ran 'btrfs balance ...' repeatedly via a script and was able to get 
some improvements, but the desktop was too far gone.  I wiped and 
reinstalled with ext4 on all of the machines.


It looks like there is a daemon for Buster and newer that can do 
periodic maintenance for btrfs.  You might want to check that out:
