Fair, I've not had any issues but I'm sure they exist. One or the other is faster based on workload, too, so it's not really that one is objectively better all the time.
tbh I'm pretty sure the issue I ran into was user error anyways, but once I finally figured out what I was doing, I decided to land on xfs for root and btrfs for home for the following reasons.
xfs is supposedly more performant and common in data centers
having a separate partition mounted at /home allows for os reinstalls or even distro swaps while retaining my home directory contents (assuming my user is the same)
most of the contents I want backed up are held in /home. I don't want snapshots of my entire system laying around
I've had some wild issues that I can't even begin to explain with btrfs. I landed on using xfs for / partition and btrfs on /home
