I think so, and it'll just complain about /boot because it's not Btrfs
(at least not by default). If your /boot is Btrfs, it's ok because
GRUB supports it.

That's a /dev node not a path to a directory or file. But it's a valid
point in that there might be some noise whenever it touches the pseudo
file systems like /dev, /sys, /run, /proc which are not on Btrfs
either. Still, it should just skip those (with some noise) and
continue on. If not then I've got an idea for a work around.
