One thing I noticed when my USB SSD cable was going bad is that my PI would become almost unresponsive as well. I could ping it, but nothing else really worked. It was half alive. I could make a connection with SSH but it wouldnt follow through. I put a netdata monitor on it. That agent still worked when it went unresponsive a week later and showed everything working but the drive. Replaced the cable and it's been fine since.
You mention NVME, so likely not a cable issue. But your symptoms sound the same almost. Just a thought.
