Is anyone else having problems with the zfs AUR packages? Specifically, zfs-dkms?
I found that applying the patch you linked to did fix things for version 2.1.6. I posted a patch for the AUR package here if you are interested. Just beware that version 2.1.6 of ZFS does not officially support kernel versions greater than 5.19, so I'm just using this patch as a temporary hack until that issue gets fixed.

BTRFS Transparent Compression
The tool compsize can give you info about the compression state of your data. For example:

The obvious example is the Raid5/Raid6 implementation which is officially not recommended for current use; though that's not something I would use anyways. But I've also found that stuff like listing the compression ratio for volumes requires a separate program, unlike zfs where it's built-in.
- compsize: btrfs: find compression type/ratio on a file or set of files

Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.

Bringing Bcachefs to Linux Mainline
I'm going to add my N=1 anecdata if no one minds:
I've been running full Btrfs on my workstation since December 2021 with 0 issues (kernel 5.10). It survived multiple hard reboots and power offs, Ryzen 5000 CPUs seems to lose power every now and then on Linux (it's a known issue for years now that no one has figured out yet).
Having compression is great. compsize reports I've saved 33GB on my /home subvolume so far (https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize). I don't use snapshots, I just backup the whole thing.
Obviously this doesn't mean that in the future Btrfs won't eat my data, but so far it hasn't and I'm happy.

Adding options to fstab?
You can also use this tool to find out what the compression ratio of the data is ;).
