Just throwing my 2 cents in here, but this all sounds suspiciously like an MTU mismatch.
Generally speaking, all devices (workstations, servers, switches, printers, etc.) connected to a given network should have the same MTU setting. In almost all cases this is going to be either 1500MTU – OR – 9000MTU.

I’d like to correct a few statements:
“Although LumaForge has specifically developed these high-performance servers because no other server at that time could cope with the heavy stress that the Library structure of FCP X puts on the server traffic”
This is incorrect. Studio Network Solutions has been making shared storage solutions for over 20 years for the M&E industry, and our EVO shared storage systems have supported shared Final Cut Pro X workflows since shortly after the release of FCPX.
“we are currently the only company that runs Resolve collaboration straight off our systems without needing an external server for the PostgreSQL database.”
Also incorrect. EVO has natively hosted the Resolve Studio database on our shared storage systems since the release of Resolve Studio 15, enabling Resolve Studio collaboration.
These features (and many more) are available with all of our EVO shared storage solutions.

We noticed the noise issue when we received our Xpander also. Our hardware config is a bit different, with 2 Quadro 4000s + 1 RED Rocket + 1 PCIe host adapter for a Matrox MXO2 mini.
Initially, I connected a fan controller in series with the Cubix chassis fan, which allowed me to slow it down and reduce the noise (and airflow) significantly. I wasn’t too concerned about the Quadro cards, as they have external exhausting fan units. I was concerned that the RED Rocket card wouldn’t have enough airflow however.
I ended up simply cutting a hole in the wall (our Resolve suite is nextdoor to our datacenter), and running the Cubix host cable through it to connect to the MacPro.
If you have an adjacent room that would work, you might consider that option.

I’ve seen a similar issue, although not specific to bluetooth – and I’m using the Tangent panel, not the full set of Resolve panels from DaVinci.
I’m also wondering if it may be the USB software protection dongle? That seems to be a common denominator…..
Our setup is:
MacPro (5,1)Wave CP > USB cable > USB extension cable > MacPro rear USB 1
Apple aluminum keyboard > USB extension cable > MacPro rear USB 2
|
= Apple mighty mouseResolve USB protection key > MacPro front USB port
I’ve also tried plugging the USB dongle into the keyboard, and seen the exact same behavior.

I like muCommander for some things. Multi-platform, dual-pane viewing, built in support for FTP, HTTP, SFTP, NFS, SMB, etc….
Plus, it’s free:

Either the Apple or UnRAID implementation of SMB/CIFS may be compatible for simple file transfers, but may not support whatever I/O operation that AVID is trying to perform.
I would suggest accessing the storage via NFS from Apple & AVID, to see if you receive the same error.

What network filesystem(s) (CIFS, NFS, AFP, etc.) are you using on the Linux server to share the volumes out?
Also, what is the underlying block filesystem of the Linux server volume that you are sharing (EXT3, REISER FS, etc.)?

Does it make sense to run at 64 bit?
This has been covered previously here.
How do I change
This Apple KB article outlines how to tell OS X to boot with a 32 or 64 bit kernel by default.
More information regarding how to determine if your Mac is capable of booting a 64 bit kernel can be found in the first link I posted above.
