As for the dwarffortress error that was a somehow left over symlink. The others were likely just being created when you synced. I'll see if that's the case and if the race condition can be fixed. I now also have a cronjob checking for dead symlinks.
The window for those should be pretty small though thanks to --delay-updates, shouldn't it? However some seem to be hitting on every sync. Maybe my upstream (gwdg.de) isn't using --delay-updates. I just noticed there is another Tier 1 in .de by leaseweb, I'll try that one instead.
Are you still using rsync --copy-links? As described in the wiki[1] we suggest "-rtlvH --delete-after --delay-updates --safe-links --max-delete=1000". If possible please try to adapt your options.
I noticed the recommended options have changed and just adapted them. Besides --copy-links, the previous exclude for dot-files seems to be no longer recommended as well. It now synced without errors - well, except
Deletions stopped due to --max-delete limit (191203 skipped) which of course isn't surprising, since deletions are skipped when there is an error like the symlink problem... And that has been there for a while, so outdated files probably haven't been deleted in the last few months.
