Rockstor writes more than 1GB/day to root disk while just idling?

I was guessing that the [btrfs-transacti] process is mostly updating metadata, but this older post even seems to indicate that appropriately small root disks run out of space quickly, requiring a balance.

Is this filling-up still going on, today?
And no balance and scrub tasks created for new Rockstor filesystems (“pools”) by default?
