Hi Stanislaw,

Can you please try if disabling/enabling the tx tasklet during hw key
configuration fixes the issue?
Doing something like:

tasklet_disable(tx_tasklet)
mt76x02_set_key()
tasklet_enable(tx_tasklet)

Moreover, have you double checked if there is any performance impact
of not using hw encryption?
If so, I guess it is better to just redefine mt76_wake_tx_queue for
mt76x0e and run mt76_txq_schedule for 7630e:

void mt76x0e_wake_tx_queue(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_txq *txq)
{
        if (is_mt7630(dev)) {
            mt76_txq_schedule(dev, txq->ac);
        } else {
            tasklet_schedule(&dev->tx_tasklet);
        }
}

Regards,
Lorenzo
