I have no idea if this would work with btrfs, but the first thing I

I don't think it's a good idea.
Well, it could be a temporary workaround (_if_ it works) for btrfs until it stabilizes.

But certainly not for md RAID-1. _If_ it did work for you, you would have to take the whole array down as dd works, which is not good. md provides its own tools (mdadm) to replace/rebuild the RAID.
