mev-boost proposal failure
I found one related discussion online, which also seems to have someone running geth/prysm and getting missed/orphaned blocks specifically post-shapella. Their posted log entries show a similar pattern as yours, but even more extreme. Note the massive gap in time between payload work timeout at 08:13:59.743 and getHeader return at 08:14:08. That's more like 8 seconds late.

Daily Goerli: I've been testing this PR for besu for the past several days, and the stability of nimbus-besu has improved substantially. Looking forward to it getting merged into main.

Yes, it's gotten better. I don't recommend pairing with nimbus until this issue gets fixed or prysm until something is done to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover from being offline for a day or more.

Daily Goerli: On Friday, I reported a RocksDB issue that was causing besu to error and exit immediately. The bad commit has been identified and a fix has been issued. lodestar-nethermind somehow ended up on an invalid fork which isn't resolved by restarting either client. Waiting to see how each client team responds and if they need more info, but might need to do a resync.
