This commit log doesn't explain what would happen when the missing
device re-appears.

Most common distros already have some udev rules of btrfs to process a
reappeared disk.

The idea looks good to me.

What if users skip balance/scrub given both could take a while?

Then btrfs takes the disks back and reads content from it, and it's OK
for raid1/10 as they may have a good copy, but in case of raid56, it
might hit the reconstruction bug if two disks are missing and added
back, which I tried to address recently.

At least ->writable should not be set until balance/scrub completes
the re-sync job.

Thanks,
