It's also the default file system of millions of Synology NASes running in consumer hands (although Synology shimmed on their own RAID5/6 support)

Kroger (and their subsidiaries like QFC, Fred Meyer, Fry's Marketplace, etc), Walmart, Safeway (and Albertsons/Randalls) all use Suse with BTRFS for their point of sale systems.
Synology uses standard linux md (for btrfs too). Even SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID) is just different partitions on the drive allocated to different volumes, so you can use mixed-capacity drives effectively.
Right, instead of BTRFS RAID5/6, they use Linux md raid, but I believe they have custom patches to BTRFS to "punch through" information from md, so that when BTRFS has a checksum mismatch it can use the md raid mirror disk for repair.
