Ah, fix it so that when the system logs run away you can also destroy user data that has not been written yet.
That's... not really how POSIX works. And most logs on Fedora should be in the journal at this point, has a maximum size.
Gooood planning. Why bother with defining a separate /home at all? It gives a false sense of security.
I don't see how there's any less "security" for /home now than there was before. It's not like the old system was immune from user processes "running away" and filling the filesystem. The system has never held space in reserve for non-root users.
There are a long list of good reasons to make /home a subvolume, though. It's groundwork for system snapshots that can be rolled back in the event of an update failure. It's easier to preserve /home but perform a clean install for everything else. Replication (possibly as a backup mechanism) requires subvolume as a boundary, and separating / and /home for that is desirable most of the time.
