"a good reason not to" reasons would include, IMHO,

- deduplication
- redundancy (tho software raid handles that fine)
- versioning

So I'm certainly watching nilfs, zfs, copyfs, btrfs, etc.

"In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems,
Theodore Ts'o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is
not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap; Ts'o
believes that Btrfs is the better direction..."

No issues with btrfs yet, but then I'm only running that in one instance.
