I've never used BTRFS for anything, and I've heard enough mixed reports from friends in my local LUG that I'm not sure I'd want my first use to be as a backup repository. To my thinking the real problem here was my not realizing that rdiff-backup's design would cause there to be millions of old cache files dating back years all in the same directory. Even if it were less of an issue on other filesystems these files don't even need to be backed up in the first place.
