The primary superblock dump looked valid, but it it couldn't find
matching secondary superblocks from the contents of the primary that
it found.

they don't match the primary superblock that was found.

It's still possible to recover, but more info is needed first.
Can you get xfs_db to dump the primary and a couple of secondary

# xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c p -c "sb 2" -c p -c "sb 7" -c p <dev>
And post the output?
