IMHO the openSUSE default of
btrfs is a very good choice for a desktop system, ext4 is no better in general, that's why btrfs *is* the default choice :-)
May I ask why then /home is proposed with xfs ? ;-)
I think because /home has so many quickly changing files it'd produce huge snapshots and fragmentation. It is better to use another tools to backup Your home. When there is no separate XFS /home partition, then there is Btrfs subvolume to exclude snapshoting.
I know a system tool that produce a lot of changes too :-) journald
Yes, logs are also in excluded subvolume. ;-)
One of the use case I would like to see covered is the use of btrfs + samba4 this (at least for me on paper) offering nice feature like move file on server side, snapshots for end user to have x version of their files etc.
I have similar principle to keep backups on the server - separated disc has Btrfs. Make a snapshot and rsync current data on it. Like this one has incremental (in our case daily) backups of whole user directory.
But ultimately, then how to save properly a snapshot to be able to restore a system in a point in time ?
