snapper_systemd_boot
The aim of this tool is to automatically create boot entries for systemd-boot from snapshots created by snapper. While I've tried to make this generic enough to be useful for others there are probably places where it's currently specific to my particular environment. If there's anything I can do to help it work for you feel free raise an issue or submit a PR. (by cscutcher)

Is it possible to get snapper snapshots shown in systemd-boot?
There was a dead WIP project for that. Systemd (a microsoft project) is pretty poorly documented and thus further development may not be feasible.

Arch on Btrfs is a perfect match!

Migrate from grub to systemd-boot
Google also returns a GitHub project (https://github.com/cscutcher/snapper_systemd_boot) that is a weekend project...

Idea: Get real "boot environments" with an unencrypted btrfs BOOT partition and an encrypted btrfs ROOT partition. Can this scheme be implemented with Grub-BTRFS or any other tool?
Is there any tool that can do this? This would really be the ideal setup that doesn't rely on full system encryption. The only viable alternative I've found is snapper_systemd_boot_boot, which uses fairly complicated internal logic to create "snapshots" of kernels on the EFI system partition.

Arch can do it too, of course: https://github.com/maximbaz/snap-pac-grub

Need some general guidance on restoring
Take a look at snap-pac-grub for grub menu snapshot integration. It's in the AUR.

Way to automate grub for new snapshots?
https://github.com/maximbaz/snap-pac-grub/blob/master/zz_snap-pac-grub-post.hook pacman hook, something like that maybe
What are some alternatives?
When comparing snapper_systemd_boot and snap-pac-grub you can also consider the following projects:
grub-btrfs - Include btrfs snapshots at boot options. (Grub menu)
refind-btrfs - Generate rEFInd manual boot stanzas from Btrfs snapshots
archinstall - Arch Linux installer - guided, templates etc.
