You can torrent a full snapshot

And also download snapshots from IPFS

I guess the issue with snapshots of large datasets is that they go out of date, and downloading the whole data set regularly is a bit painful

Well, yes, that's why I indicated that being able to torrent a fully snapshot is a step in the right direction.
