For reference, other threads I've checked:
Garuda crashing on boot to emergency shell after update - solved by switching to LTS kernel, not applicable in this case
BTRFS error : system boot in emergency mode - hardware problem? Snapshots also didn't work for this person
[Solved - kinda] Can't log in : BTRFS: error in btrfs_run_delayed_refs:2124: errno:-5 IO failure - ran out of space (?), new SSD in order, and reinstalled. However, my SSD still has 194.1GB free. It's 5 years old though 
Also had a look at the Arch bug tracker but couldn't seem to find anything of relevance D:
Please excuse me if some of the logs have typos. I typed most of them by hand because I can't copy them onto my thumb drive or even the main SSD itself 
This post is also a bit all over the place because there's just so much info, but I have no idea what's actually relevant. Sorry if a lot of them end up being red herrings (misleading)!
This update has really screwed up my system, and booting different kernels doesn't solve the issue. Thankfully snapshots still work. Strangely though, there weren't any weird errors that appeared during the update.
The Zen fallback initramfs makes it the furthest in the boot process, but then it leaves me with a mouse cursor on a black screen, and Getty can't start on other tty (not sure how normal this is).
What happens during the boot process can sometimes be a bit inconsistent.
Sometimes on the Zen kernel, a start job for Mountpoints Configured in the Real Root will start. This looks like:
[ *** ] A start job is running for Mountpoints Configured in the Real Root (31s / no limit)
[ 32.361849] BTRFS : error (device nvme0n1p2: state A) in __btrfs_free_extent: 3053: errno=5 IO failure
[FAILED] Failed to start Mountpoints Configured in the Real Root.
See 'systemctl status initrd-parse-etc.service' for details.
Looking at initrd-parse-etc.service shows:

During the boot process, /sysroot mounts successfully but everything seems to start going wrong at Starting Plymouth switch root service.
On some boots (particularly on LTS kernel it seems?), it will say
Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/e34775a9-3a44-4cad-b4a1-7a4688cda7b4 does not exist. When this happens, my SSD can't be located on /dev :')
I also can't seem to mount my thumb drive either - it always appears as /dev/sda during normal operation, but in the emergency shell, it never seems to appear when I do ls /dev.
The emergency shell tells me See "systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service" for details. Here's the output of that (typed by hand on my phone so if there's any errors please feel free to ask about them):

The irritating thing is that when I chroot into the broken system, there's no journals of the previous boot(s) kept (journalctl -b -1) and other numbers.
The emergency shell also gave me a "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" file, but I've been having trouble with mounting the SSD (nvme0n1p2) to save it to /boot. Here is the output of dmesg when I try to do so:

rdsosreport.txt says much of the same thing from what I've read. If you know how to get this off the system so that it can be posted here, please do let me know 
fyi. I did try to send it to termbin with nc termbin.com 9999 but that doesn't work in the emergency shell. (nc doesn't exist). Because /run is not persistent, rdsosreport.txt disappears after a reboot.
lsblk also doesn't work.

Garuda (2.6.16-1):
System install date: 2023-03-19
Last full system update: 2023-08-18
Is partially upgraded: Yes
Relevant software: snapper NetworkManager dracut nvidia-dkms
Windows dual boot: Probably (Run as root to verify)
Failed units: power.service systemd-vconsole-setup.service
So yes I'm stuck with a cursed system until I can update 
Update log from the problematic update: Garuda's PrivateBin
The nintendo-dkms module stuff doesn't make a dent, although I plan to remove it in future updates since it's a deprecated module (which my smooth brain didn't realise at the time of installing it lol).
Any help, pointers or advice appreciated! This is the first time I've ever dealt with an issue like this so I'm not even sure where to begin looking. :')
I've done a bit of searching on this IO error and a lot of what seems to come up are SSDs going kaput, or NVIDIA problems of some sort
idk maybe I should commit Windows user and reinstall my system lol
Next time to save my eyes and wrists, I’ll make sure to use OCR lol
to make sure it wasn’t just a one-off, I tried it again and can confirm that it is the solution in this case.
