Now I'm obviously not entirely sure about this, and it /could/ be an
unfortunate coincidence. But unless absolutely sure, it might be a
hack best avoided.

I've used 'ssh -Y user@hostname' for that telnet connection for ages, and
cannot recall toasting an SD card doing it. I also use an sshfs mount
for moving stuff around. It seems to work for me with a lot less hassle
than an nfsv4 mount ever has. ymmv of course.

That's absolutely nothing to do with telnet, that puts the OS into single-user mode and I suspect it killed something that was necessary for the survival of the card- or perhaps it just killed something at a highly inopportune time.

I'd been comparing the performance of a Rockchip-based board's LAN and USB against an RPi3B+, results were satisfactory. There's a modicum of muttering that the 3B+ has broken something relating to the LAN or USB.
