I don't know, since that is not how I have my system configured; I've
got my OS on one RAID volume and a second larger RAID set with
subvolumes mounted at specific points in the tree.  I can experiment.

But the fact that the restore was using rsync (which crashed and
corrupted the btrfs metadata) rather than directly using subvolume
snapshots means that at the very least the current mode is inefficient.
I suspect I'll see the same problem even on a root btrfs filesystem.
