Try the -purge tool:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190111041008.24361-8-e@80x24.org/
I haven't used it outside of tests, so try it in a throwaway repo,
first :)
It doesn't need to do a full reindex. And the "rebase" should
be quick when done via fast-import (doesn't need to rewrite
blobs, only commit history). The repack might be the slowest
part of the operation.
