I've done some work on making Qubes' installation to have a read-only
(and dm-verity protected) dom0 / with a write-able /home. It requires
patching qubes/storage/__init__.py to allow the volatile.img file to
reside on the rw partition (and not be re-created on the ro /):

This is one difficult point with the setup is upgrades, especially
if Qube's overwrites the python library.  In my case it also requires
rebooting into a recovery mode, installing updates and then re-signing
the root filesystem.  The rw partition is on separate TPM protected
keys so the VMs are not available during the upgrade process.
