It's quite usable, but of course, do not trust it with your unique unbacked-up data yet. I use it as a main FS for a desktop workstation and I'm pretty happy with it. Waiting impatiently for EC to be implemented for efficient pooling of multiple devices.

Regarding caching: "Bcachefs allows you to specify disks (or groups thereof) to be used for three categories of I/O: foreground, background, and promote. Foreground devices accept writes, whose data is copied to background devices asynchronously, and the hot subset of which is copied to the promote devices for performance."
