You only need to follow the btrfs list for a while to hear what can happen to users and yes, that has led to people losing data (because they failed to have backups when their filesystem went belly up).

I remember when I was doing voluntary "beta" testing of the Linux version of XFS. The traffic on the XFS list often fit the above description. A possible difference, though, is that many of the problems turned out to be hardware-related, but some were indeed due to bugs that were then fixed.
