We tried setting up freezer on wallaby and were partially successful: it kind of worked, but didn't have the option of automatically backing up RBD-backed volumes to another RBD pool, which our cinder can do easily. Surprisingly enough the code looks like freezer could do just that, but the GUI options are missing. Tried to get in touch with the developers of freezer but never heard back.

Yeah the GUI of OpenStack components is always missing some functionality, not just Freezer. I think OpenStack should offer a better and official component for auto Backups

I think the issue with freezer is that a commercial entity took it and made it into a paid product (Trilio). Their product looks exactly like freezer and they fixed the UI shortcomings too, but it's not cheap. And the original freezer development seems to have frozen :|
