I do receive those emails, when such things occur, but the drives
are not failing.
Devices are not kicked out of MD arrays, all IO just stalls
completely. Also these incidents coincide with an upgrade of OS and
hypervisor and are happening on 5 different servers so far, so it
would be highly unlikely that so many devices suddenly went bad.

Yep, SMART health checks and self-testing are enabled.
I've now put two test servers on linux-image-amd64/buster-backports
and any time any of the production servers experiences the issue I
will boot it into that kernel next time.
Cheers,
Andy
