I gave the drive a good dusting, reseated all cables and tested it again.
The errors are gone, I was able to dump & mount 3 different floppy disks.
One of them had a corrupted filesystem, but no CRC errors. I assume the disk got damaged at some point, or it's some sort of DOS quirk or copy protection.

Looks like the block size fix will suffice!
I'll see if I can test the patch and find out where the 8KiB requirement comes from.
