btrfs resize|-r [+/-]<newsize>[gkm]|max <filesystem>
Resize the file system. If 'max' is passed, the filesystem will occupe all available space on the device.

Switch the arguments, and if the 2nd is missing do what you propose for "max".

I prefer that the switch still be before. But if it is missing, 'max' should be a reasonable default.
So the syntax becomes:

btrfs resize|-r [[+/-]<newsize>[gkm]|max] <filesystem>
Resize the file system. If '-r' is missing or 'max' is passed,
the filesystem
will occupe all available space on the device.

btrfs scan|-S [<device> [<device>..]
Scan all device for or the passed device for a btrfs
filesystem.

This is the only that *migt* be sensible to have as a separate tool, if "btrfs" ends up requiring additional runtime dependencies: the scan utility should be small since it will need to be included in the initrd.

My command "btrfs" is only a front end which call library functions. It doesn't implement the scan engine.
But I agree that a "small" tool which performs the scanning only function is reasonable.
