It seems that your IPv6 connection has issues. Around the time the ssh
connection fails, I also see IPv6 traceroutes with problems. But it is
relatively far from the probe, so it is hard to be sure about the source
of the problem.

One option would be run a traceroute on your probe with relatively high
frequency (once a minute) to see if you can spot any pattern in the
traceroute output.
