I’ve always wondered, given the warnings in documentation, if there are any people brave enough to try Btrfs in a RAID5/6 configuration. Has anyone here actually tried it with “real” data?

I tried it probably a decade ago and it ended badly.
The last time I checked it seemed like “the powers that be” running btrfs had shifted focus away from raid 5/6 because enterprises didn’t care about it.
Iirc there’s a big upcoming change that improves how btrfs works internally. This might improve btrfs raid 5/6. But yeah, currently it is recommended against btrfs raid 5/6
