"2-subvolume scenario"? We already split root and home into separate
subvolumes, and Cloud images even split var into its own subvolume
too.

It doesn't really change much when everything is on the same disk, and
just reintroduces the space contention issues we intentionally wanted
to eliminate. As it stands, the subvolumes are separate hierarchies
and can be independently managed today, but share the same pool of
disk space.
