I made new experiments with the exact same multipath setup as before,
but disabled TSO and GSO on all involved Ethernet interfaces. However,
this did not seem to change much about TCP's behavior when packets are
striped over heterogeneous paths. You can see the results of four
20-minute experiments on this plot:
