FWIW, I am actively considering taking on post-EOL maintenance of 10.4.x and backporting applicable 10.5.x patches to it. Reason being performance anomalies similar to the ones you have bumped into.
I think this is a good idea. I also think the MariaDB Foundation could take a role in this.
Good luck with that...
I'll be happy to assist with the backporting of patches.
I think the important thing will be to be quite restrictive about which patches are back-ported. It should only be critical fixes, mostly security fixes and regressions. There's usually a good argument for some person's favorite patch to include, but the whole purpose of this will be to provide a very stable branch, which is best facilitated by minimizing changes done.
Well, I was thinking about backporting all applicable patches from 10.5.x after 10.5.25. Backporting CVEs only is obviously a much smaller task and there haven't been any fixed since 10.4.34 / 10.5.25, so if that's you're only concern, you are probably good to stick with 10.4.34 as things currently stand.
