Ok, so that's reading the secondary superblock for AG 16. You're
growing the filesystem from 42 to 45 AGs, so this problem is not
related to the actual grow operation - it's tripping over a problem
that already exists on disk before the grow operation is started.
i.e. this is likely to be a real corruption being seen, and it
happened some time in the distant past and so we probably won't ever
be able to pinpoint the cause of the problem.

That said, let's have a look at the broken superblock. Can you post
the output of the commands:

# xfs_db -r -c "sb 16" -c p <dev>

and

# xfs_db -r -c "sb 16" -c "type data" -c p <dev>

so we can see the exact contents of that superblock?

FWIW, how many times has this filesystem ben grown? Did it start
with only 32 AGs (i.e. 10TB in size)?

Cheers,

Dave.
