ReadyNas btrfs subvol
Hi I would like to create a folder next to this one: /dev/md127 on /apps type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nospace_cache,subvolid=259,subvol=/.apps) I can create it like this on the volume: ...

You are right, the mount is not permanent.
I have added the below to /etc/fstab:
UUID=subvolUUID /runtimes btrfs defaults,subvolid=myID 1 1
My folder is properly mounted on boot.
Confusing Netgear support is not really my concern. I understand that Netgear only wants to support standard systems.
My device was initially a RDD516 (16 GB RAM). I have changed the DMI (amidedos) so it identifies itself as RN516 and installed ReadyNAS. I have upgraded the CPU to i7-3770K 3.5GHz and installed a X540-T2 10Gigabit 10GBe 10Gbit Dual Port network card. I am running Glassfish, mysql, java11 and some other things to unleash the full potential of that box. Next step is to change disks step by step (higher capacity).
Moving things to /apps folder is a good alternative though.

The answer is to put an entry into fstab, but why do you want to create an invisible subvolume and then map it to something visible instead of just creating a standard share? You would have no access to it in the GUI. Standard shares are already subvolumes, and you can control access via the GUI.
You may also be able to create a .mount file and put it in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants, like apps.mount that already resides there, but I have no experience with that.
