Well, having actual hardware do the packet forwarding, and only having
each machine process each packet once probably helps...

The whole qdisc dequeue op is running while holding a global lock. The
freezes I'm seeing are happening because the other cores get stuck
waiting for the cake dequeue operation to complete (and thus release the
qdisc lock). Which is why I suspect an infinite loop somewhere...

An overflow of what? 40 Gbps is 5 GBps, which is the unit that rates are
being measured in. So there's no obvious reason to expect that... Which
is not to say it couldn't happen, of course...
