According to this page, that problem is solved:

https://snapcraft.io/docs/home-outside-home

but I'm not sure it really works; this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1620771
is not marked as resolved yet.

In addition to these issues there's this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1621102

and this:

I have to agree that snap has some issues and at least the ones around
home directory support are not getting resolved in a timely way.
