Ah, you didn't say that.

If this is a node in a bad state, and we're not seeing any real delays
from the jbd2 logs, then it sounds very much like the problem is a
hardware issue (or maybe an NVMe device driver issue).  You might want
to use blktrace to see how long the underlying I/O operations are
taking to complete.
