Hmmm, I am having a daily cron job creating these only on maybe 100 directories. I am removing the snapshot if it exists with a rmdir. Should I do this differently? Maybe eg use snap-20190101, snap-20190102, snap-20190103 then I will always create unique directories and the ones removed will also be always unique.

AIUI this pattern will result in an incompressible removed_snaps list. You should probably remove some old snapshots unless you really need them. Snapshot ID ranges are basically run-length compressed (interval_set), so if you end up with a present-removed-present-removed-present-removed pattern it won't compress. I'm not sure about the performance implications of having such a "holey" snapshot list though.
