I guess I misunderstood the difference between "IP fragmentation" and
"HTTP request is too big to fit into a single IP packet." If I have
the latter case, shouldn't I just receive the rest of the HTTP request
in a subsequent call to my bottleneck?

Remember that the job of IP protocol is to packetize higher level
protocol like UDP, TCP, HTTP, FTP and so on. An IP filter that wants
to parse application level protocols like HTTP needs to be prepared
to deal with all the protocol details of IP, TCP and HTTP.
