I do no longer remember the details, but the goal when I went with this
approach to picking the btrfs root was to be able to snapshot the
current system (assuing / contain /etc/, /var/, /usr/ and everything
else needed to run the system), upgrade it, boot into the new system and
conclude that the upgraded system is broken, boot it again and change
the boot parameter to get back to the old system by changing subvol=@ to
subvol=<oldsnapshot>.

Will this use case still work with your new approach, is is the only way
to change the root to have a working system to boot into to change the
default subvolume?
