I only need the first level entries of that directory, not the entire 
tree of entries. This should be in the order of thousands, right ?

We need to make sure that all bricks have the same entries in this 
directory. Otherwise we would need to check other things.

If possible, yes.

However, if there's a lot of modifications on that directory while you 
are getting the xattr, it's possible that you get inconsistent values, 
but they are not really inconsistent.

If possible, you should get that information pausing all activity to 
that directory.
