Yes, this is useful, thanks. I'm thinking if it's ok to stop on
first error, ie. when the subvolume does not exist or is a directory.

 I am fine with either ways. I shall just keep it as it is as of now.

Yes, I'm ok with that. The usecase I had in mind was something like

  btrfs subvol del *

but I should know the dir I'm in and what I'm doing there, errors are
to be expected.

For what it's worth, rmdir's behaviour is to continue after errors
(i.e., "mkdir 1; mkdir 3; rmdir 1 2 3" deletes 1 and 3, and exits with
a non-zero exit code); unless there's a good reason to do otherwise,
matching that behaviour is probably best.
