Comment 4 for bug 1888009

smartmontools_service.patch is a work around rather than a fix we can carry in the package, so I've unmarked it as a solution. The 300s timeout that Christian suggests would be a better workaround.

It would be useful to know whether the delay is simply due to the number of devices (38 it looks like?) versus if there is an issue with one of the devices specifically. Let us know how the analysis goes.
