No, you do what you're good at, and I think GH has found it.
If you choose incremental backup in cpanel, you get a misnomer of a backup. All that means is that cPanel will use rsync instead of copy - tar - gzip, which results in a substantially lower load.
rsync does have an option to do TRUE incremental backups, where you could have a series of daily backups that include only the changed files.
I found a lot of backup scripts out there using rsync.

As for linmiting load further:
Unused by cPanel, there is an option to limit bandwidth:
--bwlimit=KBPS
This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in
kilobytes per second. .... etc ...

Now, I am not sure if this helps on a backup within a server, but is meant I think to work across servers.
