Yeah, this would necessarily mean that copy-on-read is on top of the
throttle layer.

No. There's no sense to have multiple copy-on-read layers.

As I've said in previous reply, having it on per-node level may be
overkill. If you don't ever forsee to use this differently then maybe
let's stick to the per-disk config, by just keeping proper ordering and
remembering the node names.
