Completely agree with the point for btrfs.

Although I'm not sure if really only specific to btrfs.
XFS has its always_cow sysfs interface to make data write to always do
COW, just like what btrfs do by default.

Thus I believe this may be needed for all fses, and just ignore the
error if the fs doesn't support COW.
