Consistency Errors after installing Mojave

[Archetypemusic]

Hi Everyone.

I just (finally) upgraded my Mac Pro 5.1 from High Sierra to Mojave about a week ago. The upgrade was uneventful. Everything runs fine.
That said, since then I've been getting "Consistency errors" about every other day (as reported by Drive Genius). I clear the report and in another day the error warning pops up again.

Problem Report:

I've tried Disk Utility first aid: the physical drive reports fine but the OS partition come back with:

Verifying file system.
Volume could not be unmounted.
Using live mode.
Performing fsck_apfs -n -l -x /dev/rdisk6s1
Checking the container superblock.
Checking the EFI jumpstart record.
Checking the space manager.
Checking the space manager free queue trees.
Checking the object map.
Checking volume.
Checking the APFS volume superblock.
The volume Macintosh SSD was formatted by hfs_convert (748.77.8) and last modified by apfs_kext (945.275.7).
Checking the object map.
Checking the snapshot metadata tree.

too many warnings generated; suppressing subsequent ones.
Verifying allocated space.
Performing deferred repairs.
error: nchildren of inode object (id 3) does not match expected value
Deferred repairs failed.
The volume /dev/rdisk6s1 could not be verified completely.

Solutions:
a) I was thinking of running (in recovery mode): fsck_hfs -r -d/dev/disk6s1 to see if that fixes the issues (it seemed to for the youtube guy)

b) The other idea was to clone the drive, do a clean install of Mojave and then either Time Machine or Migrate (which is the better way?) to the clean install.
Will the migrate method just copy the issue back?

Any suggestions for the best way to solve these errors is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Archetype

What drive are you using for a boot drive?
How long have you been using that drive?

I suspect there might be issues with Drive Genius + APFS formatted drives & Mojave.

EDIT: It appears the Mojave is the max partially supported macOS:

My Boot Drive is a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB. Drive X gives it an excellent bill of health (97%). That said, the drive is turning exactly 10 years old this year.

That is interesting about Drive Genius. I checked the Prosoft link and it does says that DG5 does support Mojave 10.14.6. I've thought about Drive Genius 6 but I HATE the redesigned gui.

I'm thinking about a clean install on an nvme (Sonnet card) and migrate everything to that. I'd replace the sled drive (Samsung SSD) with a time machine HHD.

Hmmm, interesting. While watching movie downloaded (actually downloaded to my drive ...not streamed) from iTunes, the computer had another consistency error.

I have a somewhat similar issue with Drive Genius that involves Consistency errors, but in my case Apple Disk Utility says everything is fine.

Running Catalina 10.15.7 on mid-2012 MBPro. Drive Genius 532 keeps finding consistency errors in Preboot partition, and offers to Repair the volume. But Apple Disk Utility says everything is ok. I am extremely reluctant to turn DG loose to "fix" something that may not be broken. Maybe DG does have problems with APFS

I'm pretty sure that Drive Genius 5.3.2 only works up to OSX 10.14.6. I wouldn't run it (or at least, trust it) with anything beyond that even if it still seems to function. Perhaps for Speed test or non-altering process but that's about it.
