format the device to
btrfs and use subvolumes instead of your usual partitions (some
/boot restrictions apply). You won't be able to use grub2 though,
but syslinux will work.

Grub2 has btrfs support for quite some time now, which you are aware of
I assume. Grub2 can't cope with / in a subvolume or something?

No, btrfs has nothing to do with this. It is just that grub2 cannot be installed to a partition-less drive (at least 1 partition is needed), while syslinux can.
