New kernel and tools won't fix this:

ERROR: error removing the device '/dev/sdd' - Input/output error

I assume when you get that, either when deleting the device or
scrubbing, that you also see the device unrecoverable read error in
dmesg, as originally reported. If the drive must have the information
on that lost sector, and you can't increase SCT ERC time (as well as
the kernel SCSI command timer), or increasing it doesn't help, then
that data is lost. It's plausible btrfs check repair is smart enough
to be able to reconstruct this missing data, but I suspect it isn't
yet that capable.

So my recommendation is to prepare to lose the file system. Which
means backing up whatever you can while it's still working, such as it
is.
