 Grub-btrfs provides the variable `GRUB_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_KERNEL_PARAMETERS` to add any command to the kernel command line. Set it to `GRUB_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_KERNEL_PARAMETERS="rd.live.overlay.overlayfs=1"` to make snapshots immutable when booted into. 
 After changing this run `sudo /etc/grub.d/41_snapshots-btrfs` to generate a new snapshot-submenu with the parameter added.
