I'm taking data from the 18TB drive and placing it onto the USB-drive 
array I built (slower) -- it's on a USB 3.0 bus, off a raspberry pi, so 
very limited in terms of what I can do for that. It's a hackup job I'm 
building for longer term storage.  The real bottleneck is the USB3.x bus 
and the USB-based disks I have striped together -- yes, i know it's a 
hack :)

I have apfs-fuse running, but it is read-only.

I wanted to avoid the pain of replicating a large disk from USB3 to 
USB3 by converting the filesystem, which I expected wouldn't be 
possible.  So now I am just replicating it, which will take days to 
accomplish.

Have you considered taking the disks out of the USB enclosure and 
putting them directly on the SATA controller? It could be faster.
