The remaining utilization issues seem to be in line with
some of my in-progress suggestions for improvements that amount to
(1) reducing the sequential bottlenecks in front of subtask
generation (mainly via an alternative to Spliterator) and
(2) reducing the impact of GC stalls etc on worker availability
(mainly by using CountedCompleters).

Do you see any other systematic issues?
