Oh, now I get it :)

The INSTALL file in the btrfs-progs source distribution describes the
creation of static versions of btrfs utilities. I'm not an expert on
this stuff but I believe that is what is required in the initrd.

Do you think you could investigate this possibility? It's much easier to
do this stuff on GuixSD since you can always rollback (unless you break
GRUB).
