The current Curl version in the buster 10.1 release contains a bug about the timeouts when used with SFTP
If you set a timeout the listing will use exactly that much time to be completed ...

They already detected and fixed this problem in 7.64.1 see:https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3506
I suggest backporting that version or the commit fixing the problem.
