If this was indeed caused by one of the (rather numerous) throttles,
wouldn't it be a good idea to log that fact? 
A slow disk is one thing, Ceph permanently seizing up because something
exceeded a threshold sounds noteworthy to me.

This wasn't just slow. Those requests never completed even after half a
day had passed with the system and disks being basically idle.

Transient would be fine (though highly unlikely in this scenario), however
it never recovered, see above.

Ah, I should have thought of that before re-starting that OSD.
dump_historic_ops is at the default values, so that information is long gone.
