Now the big question:

(1) zpool clear or
(2) bring in the spare again (or exchange two more disks)?

Opinions?

Since "applications are unaffected" (good sign!), I would save all notes regarding current status, do 'zpool clear', 'zpool scrub' and then make a decision based on what things look like when 'zpool scrub' has completed. If significant degredation continues on similar disks, then replace those disks and repeat the process until things stabilize. If things don't stabilize, then suspect something like a motherboard or midplane problem, or a bad batch of disks.

Since you are using only raidz1, it is wise to scrub periodically in order to uncover any failing data before it might be needed to support a resilver.
