Problems with file server role in windows failover cluster

I have a windows failover cluster that consist of 3 virtual servers under os windows server 2019 with 2 file server roles on it, so currently I have one server role on each server and one server in reserve. This file server roles have shared disks on each and connection with azure file share through azure file sync version 20.0. Recently I face a problem that for some reason during the work file server role seems to be stuck and partially unresponsive the only solution is to reboot the node that this file server role is currently on. The only prediction of this problem I've been able to find is Event ID:5783 that relates to NETLOGON The session setup to the Windows Domain Controller for the domain is not responsive. Maybe somebody also faced similar problem or may have some ideas what it might be, or how to fix that, I'll be glad to hear about.

    We notice that the problem is preceded by this set of event id errors

    AAfter that only server reboot helps to change file server role owner node and to bring cluster back to life
