btrfs's subvolumes are pretty nice as they are just special directories. There's no need to mount them in any special way. That said, this is about /var/log and these kinds of things. If some random late-boot package needs something under /var (let's say mysql needs /var/lib/mysql), then systemd really doesn't care about it...
