I'll take a look at synthetic.conf. Turns out there is /System/Volumes/Data/, but it is a shame Apple didn't opt to make a unified view in the Finder. The /Users/Shared folder might be okay for some stuff, but for /Servers/ (one of the folders) which should be root only is not ideal and also conceptually out of place.

As the error noted, the system is now read-only, so the only thing you can do is disable that (not recommended) or fake it - see the synthetic.conf man page for synthesizing a mount point at the root folder.
