Something as simple as syncthing running, an apt upgrade, or even just doing a dd of a gigabyte from /dev/zero to a junk file can cause the system load to scream up to 10 (quad-core system), and it starts freezing.

From my experience, every random issue an os re-install doesn't fully resolve is at least partially storage related.
What does Gnome Disks say about the SMART data?
Also how full are your partitions, how old is the drive, and has there been a recent steady increase in unexplainable buggy behaviour?
I just had something very similar happen and it was definately the SSD.
I'll definitely be booting from a live USB. I have done live system migrations before (dding a running disk to another machine -- before VMWare and containers became common), but that's REALLY rolling the dice. XD

More reading and writing among other things I guess, not really sure though, just seems to be the case from too little experience.
@RL_Dane I'm not saying it's definitely related to the encryption. On account of I'm a know nothing moron with no right to say anything for sure.
But I've had no end of problems with disk encryption. But then, I'm a know nothing moron, so that is the expected thing to happen with anything I touch.
