It would be nice if one was added.

Not going to happen - you can always delete it if you don't want it.

What if there's not enough disk space to make the image?

You might want to read up on how btrfs-convert operates - we follow the same principles here.

Does the image file get saved or not? I read the description and all it mentions is that it uses the free space to convert the drive.

The image file, much like the rest of btrfs, uses CoW (copy-on-write) and so doesn't use up much more additional hard disk space, so it should be fine keeping it there. As the author said, you could always delete it if you don't need it.
