I would raise maintenance_work_mem, although it's unrelated to your issue.

Something is very wrong. 40tps is low, even for sata raid 1, but
absolutely terrible with synchronous_commit = off. This suggests you
are problems are read related and not sync related. Can you rerun
pgbench using the custom sql feature, passing insert statements?
Are you sure nothing else is going on/wrong with the box? Can we see a
bonnie++ run?
