A slight disadvantage of this approach is that the resulting incongruence between the client and the API is obfuscating.  When an end user can make accurate inferences about the API based on how the client works, that's a form of transparency that can pay dividends.

Also in terms of the "slippery slope" that has been raised, putting small bits of orchestration into the client creates a grey area there as well:  how much is too much?

OTOH I don't disagree with you.  This approach might be the best of several not-so-great options, but I wish I could think of a better one.

Just an FYI that this same 'pass volume type when booting from volume' request came up again today:

We might want to talk about this again at the Stein PTG in September to see if the benefit of adding this for people outweighs the orchestration cost since it seems it's never going to go away and lots of deployments are already patching it in.
