Most of the same things. Not swap. And not limiting the size of logical volumes, if you happen to want that. But obviously, also not supporting other filesystems. For now, I don't consider btrfs stable enough for production, for example, so I still use LVM with ext4 on it. Besides stability, there are other characteristics of other filesystems that are sometimes desirable. Google for XFS on AWS and see what it says. But I agree, mostly, BTRFS'll be great.
