Client hitching looks to be related to the change to spray retention
behavior also being triggered on game startup (as well as disconnections
as Naleksuh mentioned). Obviously for those on slower and/or older HDDs
who have been playing the game for a while and have accumulated quite a
collection of sprays, prolonged startup times after downloading haven't
been entirely unheard of out there tonight.
I am in agreement though that sdr_spew_level should be brought over from
CS:GO/Dota 2 sooner rather than later for users to suppress console spew
from relay pinging. Even if it's default 5 like CS:GO's is, which I
think is still way too high for ordinary users (I always set it to 3),
that's still fine by me.

- Not experiencing that myself (on Debian 10 here).
But, yeah noticed the extra Steam-spam in the console for sure. ;-)

Any progress on future updates to address the issues here? Right
now whenever a player joins or leaves a server the game will hang
for ~5 seconds. And bots have profile pictures for some reason
now, probably related to the Steam update.
Also, whats with the contant pinging of Steam servers in the
console? Will that be removed?
