Hurray! The btrfs balance eventually ran through after almost exactly 2 weeks.
It didn't get down to 0:
[1189505.152717] btrfs: found 60527 extents
[1189505.440565] btrfs: relocating block group 3910731300864 flags 20
[1199805.071045] btrfs: found 60235 extents
[1199805.447821] btrfs: relocating block group 3910462865408 flags 20
[1207914.737372] btrfs: found 58039 extents
iostat reckons 9TB have been written to disk in the whole
process (4.5TB read from them (!?)).
There hasn't been any change in allocation though:
# df -h /backup

/dev/sda4 8.2T 3.5T 3.2T 53% /backup
# btrfs fi df /backup

# btrfs fi show

devid 2 size 2.70TB used 1.14TB path /dev/sda4
Btrfs Btrfs v0.19
Still 1.5TB missing.
