Hello;

How do we dedup existing data?

Currently by running a zfs send | zfs recv.

Will a ZFS send to an output file in a temporary staging area in the same pool and a subsequent reconstruct (zfs receive) from the file be sufficient?

Yes but you can avoid the temp file and just do zfs send | zfs recv.

Or do I have to completely move the data out of the pool and back in again?

That is what zfs send and recv actually does.
