Ok, I figured out that apparently I was the idiot in this story, again.
I forgot to set SO_RCVBUF on my network sockets higher, so that's why I
was dropping input packets.

The zfs_txg_timeout=1 flag is still necessary (or else dropping occurs
when commiting data to disk), but by increasing network input buffer
sizes it seems I was able to cut input packet loss to zero.

Thanks for all the valuable advice!
