Would be great to know what the actual problem is. Are there any error messages from systemd or the kernel? The upstream bug (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/32892 ) about this also does not state what goes wrong (either in general or certain situations). Such details would likely be needed to convince the btrfs upstream devs to revert the change or apply a workaround -- especially as I'm pretty sure there are already a lot of btrfs systems with systemd and 6.8 (release upstream 2+ month ago and regularly used in Arch, Fedora and Tumbleweed for weeks now) out there and working just fine (including the Fedora machine one I write from).
