The --filesystem=btrfs uses the (in)famous btrfs filesystem instead of the default ext4. I don't have strong opinions either in favor or against btrfs, but since this is a more traditional distro (e.g., it is not an immutable distro like NixOS), I think that having support for snapshots is a must.
If it's not immutable, don't use BTRFS for a small root filesystem. The BTRFS people themselves don't recommend using it in that case. It will quickly become immutable, whether you want it or not, after enough updates.
