Then I'm afraid that we must advise people to install the traditional way with a separate /home partition, not a subvolume.
Agreed.
You may think so, and I do, but many people do not agree.
^ This.
In fact, I always install with a separate "/home" partition in order to be able to do just that: format "/" during fresh install if/when needed leaving "/home" with all my valuable data intact. I almost always upgrade instead, but if the upgrade crashes beyond repair, it is nice to have the alternative.
Precisely. It is not only for upgrades. It also facilitates: * backup and restore * performance optimisation (OS on SSD, home on disk) * repair, troubleshooting, data recovery, etc. * multi-boot between different versions of a distro * multi-boot between different distros * arguably, multi-boot between different OSes
