Server is Debian 9.3. Disk is mounted through fstab with options noatime,nodiratime,data=ordered,nofail.

I am quite sure there is nothing of that kind. Server is a minimal Debian install. Only Apache processes run as www-data. There is only a post-commit hook for Trac (which was disabled during at least one try. Also, post-commit shouldn't be called until commit finishes.) Furthermore, that mount is only given access to dav_svn in apache2 config.

Sorry, missed that. The DELETE error is interesting:
[Sat Feb 10 03:25:16.265923 2018] [dav:error] [pid 3339] [client X.X.X.X:61908] Can't remove '/mnt/vc/svn/repo/db/transactions/463-e8.txn/node._ji.0' [500, #2]
[Sat Feb 10 03:25:16.265940 2018] [dav:error] [pid 3339] [client X.X.X.X:61908] Can't remove file '/mnt/vc/svn/repo/db/transactions/463-e8.txn/node._ji.0': No such file or directory [500, #2]
DELETE uses low-level IO rather than parsing the transaction files.
Subversion simply does readdir() to get a list of children and then
loops deleting them. If readdir() returns a name that does not exist
then either the disk/filesystem is corrupt or some other process has
deleted the file between the readdir() and the delete attempt.
Corruption seems unlikely since you say you have moved filesystems. We
are left with some other process deleting files while apache is
attempting to access them.
Do you have some other process running that mointors the filesystem or
the repository? Does it actively delete files?

Are you running Linux or Windows? Is the disk local or networked?
