Thanks for the suggestion, StephenB. The only errors I saw when I grepped the log files for "error" were a bunch of mail-server authentication errors in msmtp.log. But those aren't being generated unusually frequently or anything.
Root partition was 82% full because I'd thoughtlessly cloned a big git repo there. But I just deleted that directory and brought the usage back down to 38%. No change in btrfs scrub's behavior.

Oh wait a minute. Looks like the "82% full" messages I saw when I grepped for "warn" were the problem!
Scrub is now writing at 56 MB/sec, up from a few KB every few seconds.
Woohoo! Thanks, StephenB !
