Another option would be to not have a separate /etc. What would be quite dangerous is having systemd decide autonomously whether a certain partition should be mounted in ro or not, or worse, forcing the users to have /etc in a separate partiton, so that systemd can decide to mount it ro. Again, useless complications to solve non-existing problems in the most stupid way possible...
