The moment the wheel was invented a dog immediately started running after it. A reference to how some dogs like to chase cars today.

the_third,

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes?

Yes.

how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

That depends on your distro. What do you plan to achieve with the separate subvolumes?

the_third,

Let’s agree on: it has a different performance for various use cases and hardware below. Sometimes better, sometimes worse.

the_third, (edited )

Not much time, I’ll be brief with three examples that come to mind from my experience:

Great use: Large filestorage with regular changes, daily snapshots, stream snapshots offsite as backup.

Not so great use: Storage backend for qcow2 backed VMs on spinning RAID. CoW made a mess of access times.

Really not great use: Large Postgres-DB with queries that creted large ondisk temp tables.

It really depends.
