EXIF refresh lead to unusable UI

Describe the bug

I had to perform an EXIF refresh of my whole library. Ever since, the moment I make an adjustment to an image, the UI hangs for roughly a minute without response. This only happens for the very first change of the image. All consequent changes are applied instantly. I cannot see any GPU or CPU use during the hanging.

More often than not Darktable crashes during the period of hanging with one of the following outputs:

$ darktable
Gdk-Message: 10:26:22.250: Lost connection to Wayland compositor.
$

$ darktable
Gdk-Message: 10:46:16.140: Error 104 (Connection reset by peer) dispatching to 
Wayland display.
$

Steps to reproduce

Unsure if it can be reproduced, but here's what I did:

Have a library of 4000 photos
Mess up their datetime using the "Map" view, trying to adjust the timezone but mistakenly applying a fixed datetime to all images
Go back to "Lightroom" and refresh the EXIF from the raw files, mode: overwrite, in order to get back the original datetime entries
Edit any photo

Expected behavior
