I think this use case should be mostly covered by the recently added
ibuffer-filter-by-directory command:

ibuffer: New filters and commands
But it would seem that this command never got a key binding. This is an
excerpt from C-h f ibuffer-mode:
Filtering commands:
‘M-x ibuffer-filter-chosen-by-completion’ - Select and apply
filter chosen by completion.
‘/ RET’ - Add a filter by any major mode.
‘/ m’ - Add a filter by a major mode now in use.
‘/ M’ - Add a filter by derived mode.
‘/ n’ - Add a filter by buffer name.
‘/ c’ - Add a filter by buffer content.
‘/ b’ - Add a filter by basename.
‘M-x ibuffer-filter-by-directory’ - Add a filter by directory name.
‘/ f’ - Add a filter by filename.
‘/ .’ - Add a filter by file extension.
I suggest to add the keybinding "/ F" for ibuffer-filter-by-directory
and "/ SPC" for ibuffer-filter-chosen-by-completion. Perhaps "/ d" or
"/ D" would be more natural for the directory case, but alas they are
already taken.
Please see the attached patch.
Thanks,
