I'm afraid I don't have one.  I just use the filesystem on various
disks, with ceph osds and other non-ceph subvolumes and files, and
occasionally I run into one of these bad blocks and the filesystem gets

That is correct, but IIUC this should only affect metadata, and metadata
recovery from the DUP block works.  It's data (single copy) that fails
as described.
