Maybe running "iotop -a" for some hours can point you to the right direction?

The other volumes are thin. I am just very afraid of the thing filling
up due to some runaway process or an error on my part.

If I have a 30GB volume and a 30GB snapshot of that volume, and if
this volume is nearly empty and something starts filling it up, it
will do twice the writes to the thin pool. Any damage done is doubled.

The only thing that could save you (me) at this point is a process
instantly responding to some 90% full message and hoping it'd be in
time. Of course I don't have this monitoring in place; everything
requires work.

There is something similar already in place: when pool utilization is over 95%, lvmthin *should* try a (lazy) umount. Give a look here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2016-May/msg00042.html

Monitoring is a great thing; anyway, a safe fail policy would be *very* nice...
