I get 2-10 xruns in the brackets, when I just start up, probably while

After Mixbus is started and up, it stays at that value for hours as far

That is indeed awesome.
And yes, while loading sessions, Mixbus can skip a few cycles, until
caches are warmed up, etc.
Also keep in mind that some operations are inherently not realtime safe.
e.g. adding/removing jack-ports (e.g. add/remove tracks in Mixbus).
Changing connections or adding/removing plugins may also cause
additional DSP spikes.
But those are edge-cases. It's not something one does while recording or
when mixing live with low-latency.
I just wish I could work at 48000Hz.
I use the VSL1818 at 48kHz exclusively. I still have a 8+ year old
original firmware (and I have to force USB3 ports to USB2 compat).
I heard that some people have issues once the device as at least once
connected to a Mac or Window box. Maybe a factory reset can help?
Maybe I dont understand alsa correctly, because a
48kHZ jackd string
doesnt work at 48kHz.
That's jackd's fault. Jack's ALSA backend always silently falls back the
"closest available" samplerate. -- IMHO it should rather fail instead,
but it doesn't.
You can check with the `jack_bufsize` commmandline tool. That prints the
actual current buffesize and samplerate.
