Ask yourself: why do you want to have multiple partitions, and/or think that you have to have them?
Some people have different partitions to keep things separate and orderly, subvolumes are perfect for that. Others use separate partitions to limit the amount of space a certain part of the system (e.g. logs/cache) can take up, subvolumes have this ability, but I don't think it's quite stable yet.

Also, if your bootloader, kernel, and initramfs are on a btrfs partition, make sure you disable compression on them. It can cause problems.

I thought about switching to Btrfs and wondered:
I will use a filesystem capable of dynamic subvolumes and I am forced to use MBR partition scheme because my notebook is unable to boot from GPT (already tried that)
Besides I know (at least I think I do) it is possible, would it be "good" to only create one real partition on my disk and create the mount structure with btrfs subvolumes?
Thanks in advance for your help and thoughts about this,
