Depending on how many storage devices you use and what kind of HBA's you use I would suggest rebalancing data to raid10. If I remember correctly there was patched posted a while ago (that I think was merged) that allowed btrfs' raid10 to potentially handle loosing more than one drive. If that is true you **may** have a slightly better chance surviving two dropped devices if you are both unlucky and lucky at once Of course you would need your metadata to be in raid10 or raid1c3 or raid1c4 to benefit from that.
And just a quick heads up to everybody - BTRFS RAID terminology is not really RAID in the classical sense - close enough yes, but quite different still.

110TB with RAID1? Wouldn't you be better off with other RAID configuration than RAID1?

That's fantastic. Over last few months, I've migrated /home (4TB) and /var (much smaller) to native raid1 on btrfs on my server. I am looking forward to migrate / (root) partition too.
