Is there any functional difference between

Thanks,

There are two "issues" with this.
1) There will be a *very* small performance penalty (negligible, really)
2) Old snapshots and other supposedly-hidden subvolumes will be
accessible under /mnt/btrfs_pool. This is a minor security concern
(which of course may not concern you, depending on your use-case).
There are a few similar minor security concerns - the
recently-highlighted issue with old snapshots is the potential that old
vulnerable binaries within a snapshot are still accessible and/or
executable.
