May be better to use /sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/devices to find the device

courser granularity available there, I'm not sure. The thing is, as
far as Btrfs alone is concerned, a drive can be "bad" and you're
effectively degraded, while the drive is not missing. Unless it's
physical removed or somehow dead, it'll still be seen but can produce
all kinds of mayhem.
This is exactly why you should be monitoring the disks themselves, not
just BTRFS. I would not advise using blktrace for monitoring in
production though, it technically risks an information leak, and it's
not exactly low impact.
