Unless you're doing something related to a hardware driver, is there a
reason you don't do 95% of your work in qemu-kvm or virtualbox?

For anything that can break your system, and for running unstable, btrfs is
awesome. You can make snapshots at any point (most people have at least a
daily cronjob), and then restore or mount live when you want. And when you
make it unbootable, you append subvol=backups/@2016-08-12 (or whatever
you named it) in grub, and there you go.
