I'm not saying increasing the timeout can't be worth it, but I haven't
seen many reports about the default being too low. There is a patch in
the works [0] allowing to set custom options in the storage
configuration for CIFS which would allow changing the timeout only for
setups that actually require it.

P.S. re-sending while including the pve-devel list
