Could you update the host with the following patch?
https://people.freebsd.org/~neel/patches/ktr_stray_nmi.patch

It enables KTR_GEN logging by default and turns it off when a VM-exit
due to NMI is detected. If there is a pattern to the NMIs then it can
be correlated with the guest activity around that time.
