Apart from looking at what is on disk with xfs_db in the manner that
is done in the first thread you quoted, no.

If you need to modify anything with xfs_db, then you have to unmount
the filesystem first. And realistically, you need to unmount the
filesystem to make sure what xfs-db is reporting is not being
modified by the active filesystem.
So either way, you will have to unmount the filesystem.

I'd upgrade both kernel and userspace.
