“I’ve just started draining the pool super slowly over a couple days, moving the hose around so I don’t end up with a swamp in one spot.”

Honestly, that’s about as close to a “hack” as I’ve found too. I tried the rain barrel/gravel pit thing and it was a mud pie disaster. What’s worked for me is running the hose out to the curb (if your city allows it) and using a cheap flow restrictor—like those garden hose timers for sprinklers. Set it to run for 30 mins every few hours, move the hose, and you avoid the backyard lake effect. Not perfect, but at least the inspector hasn’t left me any “artwork” lately.
