After adjusting the spi-max-frequence to 7500000 and switching to
edge-triggered interrupts [1] this now looks like:

# ping6 -s 500  fe80::18a4:6afa:7f78:56f6%lowpan0
PING fe80::18a4:6afa:7f78:56f6%lowpan0(fe80::18a4:6afa:7f78:56f6) 500 data bytes

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 62.304/62.387/62.628/0.340 ms

so quiet some packet loss with fragmentation.

SSHing between the machines is ok. Nice.
