Thanks for the explanation.

This further explains why I was seeing a lot more of those and the system
occasionally froze for a couple of seconds after I increased these:

vfs.zfs.vdev.async_write_max_active: 10
vfs.zfs.vdev.async_read_max_active: 3
vfs.zfs.vdev.sync_write_max_active: 10
vfs.zfs.vdev.sync_read_max_active: 10

as recommended by Allan Jude reasoning that NVME devices could work on
up to 64 requests in parallel. I have since reverted that change and I am
running with the defaults.

If I understand correctly, this:

>         hw.nvme.per_cpu_io_queues=0

essentially limits the rate at which the system throws commands at the devices. 
Correct?

So it’s not a real fix and there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the per CPU 
queue or
interrupt implementation. I will look into new firmware for my Intel devices and
try tweaking the vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_max_active and related parameters.

Out of curiosity: what happens if I disable TRIM? My knowledge is rather 
superficial
and I just filed that under „TRIM is absolutely essential lest performance will
suffer severely and your devices die - plus bad karma, of course …“ ;-)

Kind regards,
Patrick
