Hello,
I would start by researching the root cause: why does snapshot creation not work? I think you can test manual snapshot creation directly in vSphere, because Veeam simply acts as the requestor, it does not create or delete snapshots itself. You may also open a support ticket and share the case ID with us.
Regarding the idea of using storage snapshots, it is always a good way to protect workloads as it reduces the impact of backup and replication activities on the production environment, and the VMware snapshot exists for only a very short period of time. However, a VMware snapshot is still required.
Thanks!
