Actually, an interesting concept would be to have the initial two drive
RAID 1 mirrored by 2 additional drives in 4-way configuration on a
second machine at a remote location on a private high speed network with
both machines up 24/7. In that case, if such a configuration would
work, either machine could be obliterated and the data would survive
fully intact in full duplex mode. It would just need to be remounted
from the backup system and away it goes. Just thinking of interesting
possibilities with n-way mirroring. Oh how I would love to have n-way
mirroring to play with!

3) Disconnect the backup device(s). (Don't btrfs device delete, this
would remove the copy. Just disconnect.)
Hmm... Looking back at what I wrote...
Presumably either have the filesystem unmounted for the disconnect (and
ideally, the system off, tho with modern drives in theory that's not an
issue, but still good if it can be done), or at least remounted read-only.
I had guessed that was implicit, but making it explicit is probably best
all around, just in case. At least I can rest better with it, having
made that explicit.
