2. If we use space_cache=v2, is it indeed still the case that the
     "btrfs" command will NOT work with the filesystem?

Why would you think "btrfs" won't work on a btrfs?

Maybe this?

man 5 btrfs, space_cache includes:

  The btrfs(8) command currently only has read-only support for v2. A
read-write command may be run on a v2 filesystem by clearing the
cache, running the command, and then remounting with space_cache=v2.

Oh, that's only for offline tools writing into the fs, namingly "btrfs
check --repair" and "mkfs.btrfs -R"

And I believe that sentence is now out-of-date after btrfs-progs v4.19,
which pulls all the support for write time free space tree (v2 space cache).

I'll soon send out a patch to fix that.

Thanks,
