This is a difficult problem for any feature which is required by one or
more device during boot or upgrade.  Using a shared rootfs per target
means that all such features must be included on all devices.

The alternatives are AFAICS
1) splitting targets by feature sets
2) always use a per-device rootfs

I believe 2) is non-trivial.  1) might be easier and could make some sense
for huge targets like mt7621?
