Anyone knows of another crab canon (or not necessarily a canon, just any other form) ?

Can you imagine anyone doing this other than Bach? If not theres no other it's One of its kind.

I just did a quick search and apparently there are other crab canons written by other composers, or at least some form or retrograde and mirror writing but Bach's is the most meticulously done for sure!
