In that case, couldn't you just use something like btrfs snapshots + Timeshift to pull this off?

Yeah you could put some together I think, possibly with OverlayFS as well.

I feel like the value those distros add is not just the rolling mechanism but the package manager being tied into it.

So you just use the package manager like any other and it works.
