Wouldn't the fix to be to mark the /boot directory using btrfs tools as
not able to create sparse files? Or do that on kernel posthook?

I had the same issue.
I use reiserfs too.
With reiserfs you can mount the filesystem with notail option
Indeed, adding -o notail after mount in the command fixes it.
See also the note about the notail option in the man page of mount.
But the following pages (at least) do not mention it :
This is still broken, and it's quite a serious matter because when I
upgrade the machine (which sometimes overwrites /boot/grub/grub.cfg) and

I backed up a 9.10 install ( without backing up /boot/grub ), then

chroot into it to run grub-install /dev/sda and update-grub. After
reboot I saw this:
error: sparse file not allowed
Failed to boot default entries.
Even worse,
I have a simple partitioning scheme, one root and one swap. The root
partition is:
/dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
