Hello Hamish,

In general, if you can observe SUnreclaim steadily climbing then
stopping anything which isn't going to impair your usage is worth a go
if it's simple to do.  Leave something like

    while sleep 30; do
        sed '/^SUnreclaim: */! d; s///; s/ .*//' /proc/meminfo
    done |
    awk 'NR>1 {print $0-l} {l=$0}'

running as root so you notice any time SUnreclaim's steady increase
drops away.

Yes, you don't want that noise so use a delay between sampling which
typically shows it increasing.
