I look at this topic from a completely different angle (though it might be related to the view of btrfs maintainers/users caring for how the file system is structured): I always put /var on a separate partition, nowadays living on a rotating disk (actually two disks combined into one raid1) to ensure the ssd hosting the root file system doesn't get written to too frequently.
I know, every cheap computer magazine is telling you, that you have to avoid writing to SSDs, but that's only true for cheap SSDs. If you don't have a really cheap SSD, it's very unlikely that you will see the end-of-life of your SSD during your life by only updating /usr including the rpmdb. Most likely you will buy a newer one because your current one will be too small.
