Is there any replacement for squashfs? I don't know of any other format on Linux that captures the state of the file system as fully as squashfs.

Squashfs is not a problem. Squashfs can be faster than ext4, sometimes many times faster (lots of small files).

Selected squashfs parameters are the speed issue.
