Yes I was obviously wrong: the initrd must be updated, also!

Yes, now I understand, thanks!

The only viable solution to this problem is to boot a rescue system and
fix the BTRFS array there: I'm doing it now via grml (remotely via ssh
with the help of a friend who "manually" started the network and ssh
daemon)
For the records, this is what I did:
1. btrfs replace start 5 /dev/sde /target (since the missimg one was the
5th)
2. btrfs replace status /target
it took less then 10 mins to replace a 1TB disk with 76.28GiB used:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Started on 6.Sep 09:21:44, finished on 6.Sep 09:40:45, 0 write errs, 0 uncorr. read errs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
[...]
Thank you again for your support! Gio'
