Not really. A common spiel of the time was that having to mount / and /usr due to packager laziness started requiring it b handled in initramfs making it more complex. Previously / was supposed to be able to boot into minimal standalone system that could mount the rest of itself. So the common argument was that one should accept that readonly separate /usr and snapshots and whatsoever you wanted weren't going to be a thing because fedora didn't want to maintain support for mounting /usr in initramfs.
