Ah, I think you could clone the progs from the repo and apply the two

Yes, I am still trying to follow the issues with restore. It seems
btrfs-restore needs more effect from btrfs developers since it doesn't
survive tough scenarioes.

Oh, I think you've just found a really good case for btrfs-restore.
Maybe you could keep a image of that, just like Zooko did here:
