It is my understanding that /usr does *not* need to be on /, only that
if you do, you will need an initramfs. Look at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/72275 and the thread
that followed it.

After reading that, and other similar threads, I still don't
understand the benefits of a separated /usr. Mounting it read-only
seems the only sensible one, and then I think is better to go all the
way and mount / read-only.

But that's just me: anyway, anyone will be able to keep /usr in
another partition if so they desire it. They will only need to use an
initramfs.

Regards.
