The pool *did* report 15K errors that it was able to repair.

I'd start with testing your RAM with memtest86 or memtest86+. ZFS
errors without reported checksum errors may be the sign of bad memory.
I.e. data gets corrupted before ZFS gets to calculate checksum and
later invalid data with valid checksum gets written to disk.
