Or you could just rewrite the snapshots while you are at it.


How would you go about doing that?

AFAIK in ZFS snapshots are just a pointer to (an old) merkle tree[1], if you go about changing the blocks then you need to update that tree, but you can't due to copy-on-write (without paying for the copy, like I mentioned).
