I, like most people, have limited experience with NILFS2. The only bad things I can think of off hand is that NILFS has absolutely horrendous performance in certain circumstances (but mostly only shows in benchmarks, not actual use) and that if the system cleaner isn't working properly, you can run out of disk space in a hurry (which murders performance as every operation requires a cleaning first).
