My acoustic designer uses something called Codel, which can be bought in a roll. He says it's less aggressive than fiberglass.
Like u mentioned urself:

Theres a big difference between Rockwool and Fiberglass.
Rigid Rockwool (which we are talking about) is compressed dense Rockwool and should - once installed - not set any particaly in the air. Additionally all your Rock wool will be covered with acoustic transparent cloth.

Theres no way that I'd put fiberglass at my walls!!!
