Update (October 2021):

We have found the race condition that was responsible for this issue. While we couldn't fully eliminate it in the short-term we were able to significantly reduce its probability. Additionally, we have implemented it in such a way that we can easily fine-tune the parameters of the fix based on the customer impact. Please let us know here if you continue to be impacted by this issue and in the meantime please refer to the Workaround section above to unblock your workflow.
For a long-term solution we have recently kicked off a project to fix the issue fully, but this is a larger project and will take us some time to complete.
