Understandably, they're concentrating at the moment on making the features already implemented more reliable rather than on adding new features (except for fsck, that is).
Worth keeping in mind that there are two projects for fsck, one to do as much recovery in kernel as possible, and another to do a traditional out-of-tree checker and fixer. The current one in the btrfs utilities only checks, but doesn't fix. They are very nervous about releasing one which makes things worse. If you are paranoid you can there is also an out-of-tree patch to check I/O's going down to disk to confirm they won't leave the filesystem in an inconsistent state should power go out.
