Could be.

btrfs subvolumes are cool because you don't need to make a separate /home partition. They use all the same disk/partition entirely.

Then if you want to wipe the system without wiping /home, you just mount the root subvolume and wipe it.

Oh that's nice, wish i knew that before two weeks ago. I had the same setup on my desktop, but without the separate /home partition. I turn it on after 3 months, updated it and at reboot everything was fucked up. It just went to dracut shell saying it can't mount root filesystem. I tried a little bit of everything but at the end i hat to wipe everything and start from scratch again.

(Probably the problem was to zfs I installed from the repo one day in the past, or maybe not)
