I think we misunderstood each other. Running balance with swap disabled 
is not a problem. I have just done it, and as you predicted, many more 
blocks were identified for balancing.

However, I cannot disable swap permanently. If I am planning to migrate 
away from a swap file on the Btrfs volume, then I need to resize it to 
make space for a separate partition for swap. I was concerned that the 
super mismatch earlier discovered might make it unsafe to resize the 
partition.
