Which tool did you end up using for btrfs? I tried out bees https://github.com/Zygo/bees but it is way too slow.

How established was the drive when you set up bees? In my experience you really want to do the initial pass without snapshots existing, but after that it's pretty smooth.

Quite established. Although having read about snapshots causing slowness, I actually deleted all my snapshots and didn't notice any improvement.
