I would also recommend using a newer kernel. I'm the one who reported
the problem back in October, and I had to make new SD cards 2 weeks ago.
I used the exact same script on kernel 5.1.x and the problem did not
come up again, ie I was able to untar without the hack to slow down
write speed.

Thanks to Btrfs developpers!
