The log files does not have any clue about how some of the files ended up with missing .glusterfs
linkage, though there are tons of errors of operations trying to access .glusterfs/.././.....
(e.g. for gfid 7f0fa160-8e5d-44f5-88b3-8187b2397313). Probably an upgrade and restart of services
in midst of an operation?

My guess would be, as soon as you fixed the backend linkages, self-heal was able to kick in as it could
"find" these files on the replica. But why did the heal fail or why these files needed healing in the
first place.

Pranith, Ravi?

Also, please provide self-heal logs.
