I have implemented a similar workaround to @fatordee:

$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0
(...)
Supported Power States
St Op Max Active Idle RL RT WL WT Ent_Lat Ex_Lat
 0 + 3.00W - - 0 0 0 0 0 0
 1 + 2.60W - - 1 1 1 1 0 0
 2 + 1.70W - - 2 2 2 2 0 0
 3 - 0.0250W - - 3 3 3 3 5000 9000
 4 - 0.0025W - - 4 4 4 4 5000 44000
(...)

$ cat /etc/default/grub | grep latency
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=9000"

I used Ex_Lat from the state right before the last one, as per [1].

It's a less aggressive workaround, as this one just disables the lowest power state, instead of them all.

Seems to be working pretty well.
