How/where can I escalate it further?Try complaining to NFS. It might be that it would work better if NFS assigned different NFS filesystem IDs to each subvolume - I don't know.
Better than complaining...: Apply the patch you can find at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/162457725899.28671.14092003979067994699@noble.neil.brown.name/T/#mc4752a019af79cbb166d5338d6ed0db141832546 (local) then apply the fix described at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/162457725899.28671.14092003979067994699@noble.neil.brown.name/T/#mc26984e10e7837e28aca3209fcb03b38a4df6fe7 (local) which I think is shown in more detail in a subsequent message in the thread. Then confirm for yourself that it works. Then reply to that thread (or send a new message to linux-nfs) saying something like: Hi, I've been having problems with NFS and btrfs too. I found this patch and it works really well for me. Any chance we can get it included upstream? That might spur us on to further action - enthusiasm is much better than complaints :-) (the problem is not that NFS doesn't assign different filesystem IDs, the problem is that NFSd doesn't tell NFS that there are different volumes).
