Copying or restoring crtime for files/directories on ext4fs filesystem

I wonder if there are ways to copy or restore crtime (creation time) for inodes/files/directories in Linux in 2020. I've accidentally deleted a folder while I still have a full disk backup, but neither cp -a, nor rsync can restore/copy files/directories crtimes. I have found a way to achieve it using debugfs but it's super complicated and I need to automate it (I have hundreds of deleted files/directories). For the source disk you do this:

# debugfs /dev/sdXX
# stat /path
Inode: 432772   Type: directory    Mode:  0700   Flags: 0x80000
Generation: 3810862225    Version: 0x00000000:00000006
User:  1000   Group:  1000   Project:     0   Size: 4096
File ACL: 0
Links: 5   Blockcount: 8
Fragment:  Address: 0    Number: 0    Size: 0
 ctime: 0x5db96479:184bb16c -- Wed Oct 30 15:22:49 2019
 atime: 0x5b687c70:ee4dff18 -- Mon Aug  6 21:50:56 2018
 mtime: 0x5db96479:184bb16c -- Wed Oct 30 15:22:49 2019
crtime: 0x5b687c70:d35d1348 -- Mon Aug  6 21:50:56 2018
Size of extra inode fields: 32
Extended attributes:
  security.selinux (40)
EXTENTS:
(0):1737229

Remember the crtime, these are two fields,

(yes, the first) and

(the second) Then for the destination disk you do this:

# debugfs -w /dev/sdYY
# set_inode_field /path crtime_lo 0x${1st_value_from_earlier}
# set_inode_field /path crtime_hi 0x${2nd_value_from_earlier}

Maybe there's something else I'm missing in the debugfs manual which could help me do that, so I'd be glad if people could help.

-f cmd_file

surely seems like a nice way to start but still a little bit too difficult for me.
