Looks like this problem to me:

In short XFS with default options limit the number of inodes by not
using more than 5% of the volume space for inodes. Have a look at
"xfs_growfs -m".

I'll try, but I don't think that's it. According to df -i (posted above) I have more than enough inodes free.

It's not the number of inodes as it is common on ext2/ext3 but the percentage of space occupied by inodes which is dependant on the inode size, the number and the size of the volume. Check with xfs_info, on the filesystems we are using xfs on the percentage is 25% but it may be different on your side. Either way if you can not create any files in the spool area nothing Postfix can do about.
