Is there a way to make LVM/ZFS snapshot and back it up afterwards
(possibly throttling the IO of the Bacula FD process to not slow down
the server)?

Alternatively, you *could* try to restore your full backup somewhere
else and then take the full (compressed) backup off that other client
somehow pretending that it really was your *real* client (certain
jiggling with Client settings will be needed in the Director's
configuration to change the IP/hostname of that client).
