I don't think that argument holds, since Btrfs is busy copying all the "layer violation" features from ZFS such as RAID.

No. That is a mischaracterization. Btrfs is intended to work closely *with* dm and lvm. A certain minimum amount of functionality is duplicated between btrfs and the current dm and lvm where absolutely necessary. Read what Chris says about this:
