Instead of making such multiple hops, can we have APIs exposed by Proxmox VE
which we can use? E.g. API to get consistent snapshot-access to a virtual disk.
This way we have better control on monitoring jobs, API contracts are decided,
it is also easy to troubleshoot issues on each side, etc. Let me know your
thoughts on this. With Proxmox VE REST APIs, we already have several APIs for
nodes/VMs management.

Yes, the API is designed for the integrated backup/restore tasks on the Proxmox
VE side. The implementation of the API methods will serve as a bridge to your
backup server.
If you really want, nothing prevents to manage your own jobs from the server
side. You'd just need to issue the relevant API calls via the Proxmox VE REST
API, e.g.:
1. Your job on the server side decides to run a backup.
2. It sends the 'vzdump' API call to the Proxmox VE node.
3. The Proxmox VE node will call the methods of your backup provider API
implementation.
4. Inside these methods, you get access to the data that can be transferred to
your backup server.
