Have you tried restoring from a backup? Given the numerous issues, I suspect restoring from a backup can still fail.

Yep, individual file checksums match in the destination filesystems, and they get scrubbed routinely to ensure overall durability. I've also been able to send incremental snapshots to a third system from either of the first two, interleaving where the snapshots arrive from, so I am pretty convinced that for my use case the raw snapshot transfer is sufficient. I was also able to change the wrapping passphrase on the origin system and propagate it to the destinations successfully (I can `loadkey` on the destinations with the new passphrase).
