I went the dumb path.
I made a regular logical volume, used partclone to restore my back up and
then booted into the OS.
Once booted in I added the following to /etc/dracut.conf:
add_drivers+=" dm-thin-pool "
and then rebuild by initramfs by
dracut -f
and then booted into my other two fedora kernels and did the same.
After that, I created the thread pool and thin volumes again and restored
my backup again, and logged in.
