Can you please double check the following:

amount of free space in the /data partition:  df | grep data
check the write speed to the data partition : dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data/test.bin bs=1M count=1024 (this will write a test file of size 1GB). For example, using voxl2 i result i got was (on VOXL1 it will be a bit slower):

#set cpu mode to perf
voxl-set-cpu-mode perf

#perform the write test using randomly generated data (may be limited by speed of /dev/urandom)
voxl2:/data$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data/test.bin bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 2.85171 s, 377 MB/s

(you can / should remove /data/test.bin after the test to free up the space)

I'm wondering if this may be a HW issue on the VOXL board. Possible the USB or the USB VBUS control is now no longer working correctly, thus not allowing the MH modem USB hub to enumerate (eth0 never seems to be detected, implying a USB hub path issue, but on the VOXL side since the MH HW is known good on another system).
https://docs.modalai.com/expansion-design-guide/#modalai-usb-hub-example
This may be cause for an RMA.

After messing with it some more, I think it might have to do with the batteries I am using. Because the drone is currently turned on and my laptop is connected to the drone's wifi, but it is no longer connecting to QGC, even with a micro USB connection too.
The battery I am using is a "14.8V, 45C, 4S1P, 3300, 4 Cell battery". And it will only read on the QGC when it is around 30-50%.
Any ideas what I should try next?
