The test is complaining at the following line in 8.x:
assertBusy(() -> assertShardFolders(restoredIndexName, true), 30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

This timeout was increased 2 years ago. See #84942

Some additional tracing was added here.

@tlrx can you take a look, I think you might have some more context for this.

I believe this issue was fixed in 9.0 by #118606 where we can skip the translog when recovering searchable snapshots. There are no failures after December 16.
