It's A Digital Disease!

I recently bought 2 new 8TB HHDs to replace the existing drives in my media server. I am struggling to pick a filesystem. My plan is to use one drive for data, and the other drive as a backup using Kopia (the OS is located on a SSD, the data drive will only hold media). I have a read a lot of good (and some bad) things about BTRFS, but much of it seems to relate to RAID setups, which I will not have. Are there any real advantages of using BTRFS in my case over something more basic, like EXT4? I am newer to using Ubuntu and don't really have experience with RAID setups.
