Hi,
Yeah, so the fuse mount log didn't convey much information.
So one of the reasons heal may have taken so long (and also consumed resources) is because of a bug in self-heal where it would do heal from both source bricks in 3-way replication. With such a bug, heal would take twice the amount of time and consume resources both the times by the same amount.
The other thing you could do is to set cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm to 'full', for better heal performance and more regulated resource consumption by the same.
#gluster volume set <VOL> cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm full
As far as sharding is concerned, some critical caching issues were fixed in 3.7.7 and 3.7.8.
And my guess is that the vm crash/unbootable state could be because of this issue, which exists in 3.7.6.
3.7.10 saw the introduction of throttled client side heals which also moves such heals to the background, which is all the more helpful for preventing starvation of vms during client heal.
Considering these factors, I think it would be better if you upgraded your machines to 3.7.10.
Do let me know if migrating to 3.7.10 solves your issues.

Yes, but as I was saying I don't believe KVM is using a mount point, I think it uses
the API (http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Libgfapi_with_qemu_libvirt).
Might be mistaken ofcourse. Proxmox does have a mountpoint for conveniance, I'll attach those
logs, hoping they contain the informations you need. They do seem to contain a lot of errors
for the 15.
For reference, there was a disconnect of the first brick (10.10.0.1) in the morning and then a successfull
heal that caused about 40 minutes downtime of the VMs. Right after that heal finished (if my memory is
correct it was about noon or close) the second brick (10.10.0.2) rebooted, and that's the one I disconnected
to prevent the heal from causing another downtime.
I reconnected it one at the end of the afternoon, hoping the heal would go well but everything went down
like in the morning so I disconnected it again, and waited 11pm (23:00) to reconnect it and let it finish.
Thanks for your help,
