The btrfs oops may be poor handling of an I/O error thrown by the block
error.

Root cause is definitely your SATA PHY throwing some hardware errors
from the transport layer (low level SATA packet transmission failures).
Everything else sorta falls apart after that.

First guesses are the usual suspects: cabling, temperature, power or
SATA ports on the [SATA controller | SATA device] going bad.

Disabling swncq will only improve things from the perspective of slowing
things down and giving the hardware less to do. swncq makes things
parallel, so forcing only one transaction at a time certainly increases
the chances of success by reducing complexity and serializing transactions.
