Can you try:
options iwlmvm power_scheme=1

That can help to know where the problem hides.

Meh... So what happens here is that the firmware is stuck while
transmitting. The driver detects this and as a workaround, resets the
firmware. The detection takes 10 seconds.
The only way to understand what is going on here is to take the
firmware from [1] and to run the steps to collect firmware debug data
from [2]. I recommend you open a bug on bugzilla.
Out of curiosity, did you try to work in DC mode (on battery, not
connected to the power)? A user reported that it helped [3].
