Hi, I just implemented your overlayfs on a Manjaro-Arm build on a RPi-3B. It works very well, but I did have to modify my process from your README slightly.
Since the Set filesystems readonly section comes after the Enable overlayroot in commandline section, and you call for a reboot between the two, the root fs is already an overlay, and any changes to it are lost on reboot. So editing the /etc/fstab file at that point is useless.
This can be fixed by telling installers to use the rwrootfs command before editing the /etc/fstab file, or just changing your instructions to not call for a reboot between the Enable overlayroot in commandline section and the Set filesystems readonly section.
