Are there any tools that allow you to create a dump of a mediawiki install that doesn’t require direct database access? My primary focus is on creating a backup of the wiki contents. Thanks
XML export if enabled should do the trick.

Unfortunately that doesn’t really work unless it’s a fairly small wiki. If it’s bigger the export request times out.
What I was hoping for was a tool that utilizes either special export or the API to build a dump file using multiple requests.
I can probably write something to do the same thing, but was hoping for an existing solution

Not exactly the same thing, but there is a set of grabber scripts designed to get and import an entire wiki via the api, but these are currently mostly just mw maintenance and a few python scripts that only expect to be used with an actual second mediawiki instance.
That being said, it probably would be a good idea to rearchitect them to be a bit less redundant with each other, and in so doing also make their usage a tad more flexible anyway, such as for creating dumps and backups instead. Whatever the case, at very least they might make a useful reference point.

There is also MWOffliner which might work you, which is maintained by the kiwix team iirc.

I would think the scripts lsarra mentioned would work best for MediaWiki. That said, there are a large number of 'archiving' tools that let you take copies of websites for historical preservation and backup:
e.g. https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community#The-Master... One noteworthy group - the 'Archive Team' https://www.archiveteam.org/
