Yes you are right.

 e1000e 0000:05:00.1: eth1: Jumbo frames cannot be enabled when both receive 
checksum offload and receive hashing are enabled.  Disable one of the receive 
offload features before enabling jumbos.

How stupid of me to not see that. 

After turning rxhash of, setting of mtu to 9000 is possible again.

$ sudo ethtool -K eth1 rxhash off

$ sudo ip link set eth1 mtu 9000


Sorry to have wasted your time.
