How does btrfs handle sudden shutdowns?

Can btrfs deal reasonably gracefully with sudden shutdowns? (I'm
mainly thinking of power outages which lead to logical structure
damage but not physical media damage.)

What would be the risk points, file-system-wise?

Can for example a rotating snapshot schedule mitigate some or all
issues relating to sudden shutdowns, if any? (_For example_, take a
snapshot every minute, keeping the last five; if the main file system
fails to mount, then could the most recent usable snapshot be used as
a fallback, or is it likely to be equally damaged or inconsistent?)

Obviously a UPS or other form of fallback power is preferable to no
UPS if power outages are a concern, so as to allow a controlled system
shutdown (or fail-over to a more long-term backup power supply) in the
event of a prolonged power outage, but I'm wondering about situations
where such don't exist or even fail.
