Well, this seems urban legend to me.

Something that is repeatedly copied/pasted on many web pages since last
century.

Given the nature of qdisc (being protected by a spinlock), you
absolutely want to have some kind of aggregation.

I have a patch to allow a sysadmin to set a max gro segs value to
incoming packets. You could play with it. Start with 4 segments,
allow GSO/TSO on the output and watch performance coming back.
