There are a number of Firebird-specific tools, see for example
https://www.ibphoenix.com/download/tools/migration

But at times I just resort to writing such things in code or using an
ETL tool (especially if it isn't between the same structure, or if data
needs some additional transformations).

I'd suggest going to Firebird 3 directly. I'd almost suggest trying to
go for Firebird 4, but as it is still in development that is probably
not the best idea.
