you did read the thread you are replying to, right? So you know we're
talking about 1 TB of data, and that the first full run has been running for
something like 80 hours and still is? That is not meant to imply that future
full backups will take equally long, just that the initial question was "can
I avoid future full backups?".

As pointed out, that either requires patching the source or building the
$argList yourself. If you patch the source, it affects all hosts (unless you
invent $Conf {HackRsyncFullWithoutIgnoreTimes}).
