One thing to consider is the estimation error in qdisc_l2t(), rate table has only 256 slots

static inline u32 qdisc_l2t(struct qdisc_rate_table* rtab, unsigned int pktlen)
{
	int slot = pktlen + rtab->rate.cell_align + rtab->rate.overhead;
	if (slot < 0)
		slot = 0;
	slot >>= rtab->rate.cell_log;
	if (slot > 255)
		return (rtab->data[255]*(slot >> 8) + rtab->data[slot & 0xFF]);
	return rtab->data[slot];
}


Maybe you can try changing class mtu to 40000 instead of 9000, and quantum to 60000 too

tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate ${rate}mbit mtu 40000 quantum 60000

(because your tcp stack sends large buffers ( ~ 60000 bytes) as your NIC can offload tcp segmentation)
