This system would then require a small system for fetching the snapshots, applying them, and destroying old snapshots, but I guess most of the job is already done within the auto-snapshot service?

What do you guys think of this idea, and do you have a better idea instead?

One option that can help significantly if you believe your previous rsync runs to be correct is to use --ignore-existing with rsync.

The other issue currently with the repository is its structure, which has too many directories (about 350K) which slows down the rsync significantly:

I don't know that we have the provisioning and resources necessary to provide zfs snapshots at this time.
