Intermittent Stinger Freezing

I have a number of stinger transitions, and most of the time they work fine.
Sometimes though, OBS will freeze, cut to the destination scene, then play the stinger video (usually truncating it).

These stingers are stored on a dedicated m.2 NVME drive, and much of the time work PERFECTLY FINE. It's maybe one time in ten that they do this, and I've been unable to figure out why. From a log excerpt (below) it seems to suggest that my capture card abruptly needed an extra 300ms of audio buffering at the same time this occurred, but I think that is a symptom of the freeze-up rather than a contributing cause, as it runs fine at all times outside of the stinger freezing issue.
