I can’t speak for the specific config above, but generally this is a good time to reach for tcpdump(1) to capture some traffic on em0 and see if you can spot any anomalies especially in things like frame size (mtu related issues) and tcp checksums. See https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2019-February/003686.html for a couple of things to check for there too.

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tcpdump and the GUI app wireshark make a very nice combo.

Happy hunting.
