I could not remount /system on an API 30 emulator. disable-verity left me with a non-bootable emulator. Instead of trying to fix it I tried using an API 25 emulator, without running into that issue.

If you need to run on a later API level, perhaps https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/186630/android-o-failed-to-mount-system-dev-block-dm-0-is-read-only helps.
