... tends to suggest a PXE issues vs ESXi installer issue. That seems odd since 9k frames if supported by the network, should be enabled by default... and for NexentaStor, its a per VIP setting. I don't want to setup a new VIP in NexentaStor for serving boot volumes and associating a new pool just for this use case.

You're probably looking at a Hardware-Level or UNDI stack limitation. I have jumbo frames enabled on my network, and in use, and don't get these errors. Are you doing Boot from SAN or something else?
