Hi,
50% of the time when booting, the system go in safe mode because my 12x
4TB RAID10 btrfs is taking too long to mount from fstab.
This won't help, but I've seen this exact behavior too (some time ago).
Except that it wasn't 50% that it didn't work, more like almost
everytime.
Commenting out the fstab entry "fixed" it, mounting using a cronjob
(@reboot) worked without a problem.
(As far as I remember, options like x-systemd.device-timeout didn't
change anything.)
If someone has the answer, I'd be interested too.
You mean something like a custom systemd *.service unit file? That's
what I'd do here. =:^)

Thanks for the tip and the detailed explanation. I believe I have tried
something similar back then (involving a custom systemd service), but
it's too long ago, I can't tell for sure. What I do remember clearly is
that the timeout error came within seconds after invoking the mount
command, maybe 5 or 10 seconds - certainly not even close to 30 seconds.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
Other than that, I believe using the noauto option together with a
custom systemd service sounds like it should do the trick (and sounds
like a clean solution if you indeed want that filesystem mounted on
demand only), but then again, mounting a filesystem without that option
should work too. In any case, I've saved your email, maybe I'll hit that
issue again someday - I'll try your suggestion then.
