You can shrink XFS, but only the realtime volume. All you need is xfs_db and a steady hand. I once had to pull this off for a shortened test program for a new server platform at Meta. Works great except some of those filesystems did somehow get this weird corruption around used space tracking that xfs_repair couldn't detect... It was mostly fine.
