No. It's not causing lock-ups or anything else sinister. The network
activity resumes happily a couple of seconds after the reset.

I don't see this at all on 6.1 unless I use SCHED_ULE. (Although, I
haven't compiled all those additional drivers into a 6.1 system, so that
might not be a fair comparison.)
