SOLVED — UPDATE
The issue has been resolved.
The problem was caused by how I bypassed my ISP modem using the ODI DFP-34X-2C3.
I replaced it with a Leox LXT-010H-D, and this fixed the international upload speed issue. Upload speed is now back to the expected ~450 Mbps.
OPNsense itself and the Intel I226 NIC were not the problem.
