that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by
using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes
emails/folders etc.?

dsync over ssh should work for that, yes. (Locally if you use doveadm import
it's going to use the same SIS storage unless you override the settings.)
