> As for reclaiming the space...

One more option there I forgot to mention... There are various dedup 
tools out there.  See the wiki ( https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org ) and the 
list archive for more as I've not used any of them myself, but in theory 
at least, the dedup tools should help you recover the space, and I /
think/ they'll do so without forcing either snapshot deletion or a fresh 
mkfs.btrfs and restore from backup, too, those being the other options I 
mentioned.
