I would try a form of button plating (probably the wrong term, but the
process is similar), beginning with perhaps 2 ounce foil on the surface,
drill the holes, run through permanganate, electroless, etc etc, then mask
(with resist) the entire surface except for hole pattern, plate the holes up
to 2 ounce, strip the resist, apply the final image, finish the remaining1
ounce on the surface and in the holes.

Doesn't sound too impossible. Just make sure the plating tanks are able to
plate evenly, any dogbone effect in 3 ounce holes would be a mess I'm
sure...
