From the result, it looks like either btrfs is doing wrong trim, or the
storage stack below (including the Parallels, the apple fs, and the
apple drivers) is blowing up data.

In the latter case, it doesn't matter whatever kernel version you're
using, if it happens, it will take your data along with it.

But for the former case, newer kernel has improved trim check to prevent
bad trim, so at least newer kernel is a little more safer.

Not always the newest, although we're trying our best to prevent bugs,
but sometimes we still have some bugs sneaking into latest kernel.

Can't say it's unsafe, since SUSE has all necessary backports and quite
some customers are using (testing) it.
As long as you're using the latest SUSE updates, it should be safe and
all found bugs should have fixes backported.
