Yes, repair is crashing in this case. Best to try xfs_repair after
you've rebooted and mounted/umounted the fs to replay the log. If it's
still crashing at that point, we'll probably want a metadata image of
the fs, if possible (though there's a good chance a newer xfsprogs has
the problem fixed).

It's hard to pinpoint something to the fs when there's a bunch of hung
I/Os. You probably want to track down the source of those problems
first.
