grub2-mkconfig. The root fs UUID has changed as well as needs a hint
for the subvolume to use as sysroot, e.g. rootflags=subvol=root. These
are picked up by grub2-mkconfig.

initramfs probably does not need to be done, because btrfs is now
built-in to the kernel instead of as a module.

Not really. When in doubt use defaults. And the installer uses
upstream defaults.

Two features will soon be the default, are stable for a long time, and
I use them both. Since you're doing your own mkfs you could opt in
now: '-R free-space-tree -O no-holes'  - both can be enabled after
mfks time though too.
