Sounds good, thanks.

I did not do so on purpose as I'm only disabling L0s on machines where
I've confirmed the issue. And the assumption for now is that this is a
machine-level issue.

Sure and that would be good to know as that would give us another data
point which may help determine where the problem lies. Enabling the ITS
will (hopefully) be done in 6.9 so we'll have a whole cycle to disable
L0s where needed. I don't think this should be done before then.
