I had a similar problem that I resolved with the attached Lua filter (slightly
modified to adapt it to your needs). I hope that it will work for you. Simply
call it after --citeproc.

Note that it will throw an error if you have \cite commands outside footnotes.
If that it the case, please let me know.
