While it isn't quite getting long in the tooth, sid is still sporting
the 3.2.x kernel. Now as I recall, Greg KH said that this would be the
next long term support kernel, but I would like to play with some of
the newer features from the later 3.x kernels from experimental, like
f2fs and btrfs. I was wondering if anyone is running any of them, and
if they are stable enough for day-to-day use.
Thanks,

I wouldn't use any of the newer file systems until they've been around
in use for a couple of years. You can use btrfs now and I've heard that
it's quite reliable but it depends on how much you value the new
features versus the risk of losing your files.
How good are your backups? How much time can you spare to restore a
corrupted file system? How much do you need the new features?
On the last point, some of the new file systems offer intriguing
features but in real life, I'm not likely to really need them. Nor do I
see any real problems with Ext4 that would make me want to switch. Your
situation may be different.
