If you could implement SSD caching in front of your FS (such as lvmcache or
bcache), that would work wonders for performance in general, and especially
for mount times. I have seen amazing results with lvmcache (of just 32 GB) for
a 14 TB FS.

As for in general, with your FS size perhaps you should be using
"space_cache=v2" for better performance, but I'm not sure if that will have
any effect on mount time (aside from slowing down the first mount with that).
