This looks fine, that said...now that we've done all this I am still coming around to the idea that ostree should automatically inject something like ostree.fallback=/path/to/root
for all non-default entries, that way we can reliably detect this from the initramfs and properly set up the default target from the initramfs.
Anyways, something to just consider for later.

We normally fallback at the bootloader level right? So if we have loaded a kernel+initrd+cmdline from a fallback boot entry the ostree=
karg would have the fallback root and ostree.fallback=
would have the next fallback if that makes sense.
Also... cmdlines are generated server-side, this wouldn't be able to account for clients that missed an upgrade.
You can skip an upgrade in ostree right, if you haven't upgraded in a while?
That's why it's kinda nice to have the /boot/loader data client-side, fallbacks seem like something that should be client-side determined. Because each client may have a different upgrade path (and different fallback versions, or the fallback could be on A on some clients and B on others).
