By the show-processlist I could suspect
  MDEV-30780 optimistic parallel slave hangs after hit an error

If you can reproduce it, could you please file a Jira
https://jira.mariadb.org/ ticket to include
1. mysqlbinlog output of the replication events (you may need a master
   binlog for that) being executed by all workers at that
   time (find the last executed through Show-Slave-Status, or
   @@global.gtid_slave_pos).
2. slave error log
3. execute on slave
     gdb -ex 'set height 0' -ex 'thread apply all backtrace' -p "find yourself mariadb-pid"

Not really. The sentance merely says the master server performance
won't be affected when one takes backup on the slave.

I would think of deadlock.
