Cisco Nexus with ESXi 7.x

Running a pair of Cisco Nexus 9000 switches as our core switches and a pair of Cisco Nexus 9000 as Top of Rack (ToR) switches.  I have several hosts running ESXi 7.0.0 or ESXi 7.0.3, with different NIC hardware and vendors, all having an issue where we are seeing receive packet errors at the host.  This is only happening on pNICs connected to NX-OS switches, regardless if they are the core or ToR switches, and the hosts running ESXi 7.0.0 also, with the same NIC's, connect to two Dell switches and are not having the errors.

I have opened an SR with VMware, which seems like even a Sev2 SR takes days to get any traction on, but wondering if anyone has come across this by chance?  I have validated the hardware with the HCL, and ensured the drivers and firmware are all correct.  Some connections use CAT6, some use TwinAX.

I have 9300's and I'm not noticing that on my blade servers. I'm connected all via TwinAX.
