It is basically about data protection, performances, reliability and easy 
administration (see 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/server-working-group/docs/server-technical-specification/)
 So, the Fedora server editions (i.e. Server and CoreOS) use LVM/xfs.   

And please, think twice when you read something like "BTRFS protects us from 
"silent" corruption of files, which is more of an issue with large volumes of 
data“ or „... large organizations with many users, btrfs is expected to reduce 
problems with data corruption…“. It’s more kind of marketing speech than any 
valid decision criteria or technically based argument. If you use the search 
engine of your preference you will find a lot of detailed and and technically 
based discussions of Fedora and Red Hat engineers about the topic. As in most 
cases, there is no „one absolute truth“ about filesystems as many missionaries 
claim again and again. It is a question of weighing and criteria for a use case 
or also for a type of use cases.
