I've upgraded both machines yesterday to:
Linux vn03 5.0.21-2-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.0.21-6 (Fri, 27 Sep 2019 17:17:02 +0200) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And they seem to be doing fine for now. Also, the slab size is a lot
smaller just after boot, compared to previous reboots.

I'm pretty sure pve-kernel-5.0.21-2-pve:amd64 5.0.21-3 still had the
problem.
