Couple of more observations, regarding hardware, and obviously besides a fast device/pool, the only other thing you want is an high clock CPU with a fast single thread rating, Samba is single threaded, so e.g. a fast dual core CPU is better then a low clock 8 core Xeon.
Also, and since 99% of the time my transfers to this server are in the other direction, from Unraid, not to Unraid, it's been some time since I've paid attention to write speed, fuse overhead appears to be more pronounced with v6.8.x compared to v6.7.x, did a quick test and currently I'm getting more like 700MB/s write speed to a user share, I remember getting around 800/900MB/s with v6.7.x.
User share vs disk share
