Debian BTRFS systems since 2012 without any problems and as Ubuntu is based on
Debian it should work the same way.BTRFS supports the subvol= mount option, so
you can mount a subvol as root. You can make a read-write snapshot of root,
upgrade the regular root, and then boot from the subvol if something goes
really wrong with the upgrade. Also you can use systemd-nspawn to run a chroot
environment if you need to use old versions of apps. I have old distributions
running with systemd-nspawn and ssh to them to run older apps.-- My Main Blog
