I've contacted PulseAudio developers and with them I was able to confirm that 
this is indeed an issue in PulseAudio when using a monitor input in certain 
cases. The audio does get heavily distorted (I was finally able to record it) 
and that is the reason why WSJT-X is unable to decode the signals.

On the other hand, the distortion issue does not occur always and I was able to 
keep WSJT-X decoding FT8 in the background for several hours without any sync 
issues. Complete QSOs via bidirectional WebRTC connection to a transceiver 
(using an IC-7300) work very well also! The software I'm testing is a ham radio 
remote control server written by me...

Thanks for the quick answers!
