Am I right in saying that the complaints with btrfs in CoreOS are specifically around its use in conjunction with Docker?

(Interested as I'm thinking about building a homebrew NAS/general purpose server w/ btrfs, there's a lot of outdated info on btrfs but I was getting the impresssion that it's now a pretty stable and useable filesystem)

I can say that ZFS has worked great for me on BSD-based home servers. Haven't used ZFS with Linux yet, though it's possible to do so, it's just unpopular partly for licensing reasons. I suspect what type of RAID you do may have greater consequences than what file system you pick, particularly if your distro is already designed for serving files on the file system you choose. Oh and working out all the AFP/Samba bits are fun, because there's always something that surprises you.

When I last tried to try the issue of ZFS was one of performance and massive requirement of RAM to enable the features I wanted.

It seems performance have improved and are improving according to this benchmark of last year zfsonlinux by phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=19059

I've got severely burned by ZFS on linux running in AWS. Heavy NFS load (ZFS NFS, not linux kernel NFS) caused a kernel panic, pretty reproducibly. This was on Ubuntu 12.04 with the offical ZoL PPA sources, so YMMV.
