bottom line is that most of this looks less likely to be a jail
problem.

Yeah, I had been seeing mysql hang or go to 99% CPU for years once in
a while; it's been more rare the last months. I have seen it in- and
outside of jails, with or without patches.

You could try to see if you can get backtraces of those processes.

Looking at your image I see more problems before the shutdown so this
as well is most likely not a jail problem.
