A few observations...
Hard to debug gentoo kernels, I don't know what's going on in there.
Often gentoo users report problems that disappear after using a stock
kernel.org problem, for what that's worth.
I see that you tried fsck.xfs; that does nothing - it's a no-op.
Then, it appears that the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted. I see
that you did try to follow the advice and mount/umount, but that mount
failed. It would have been much better to investigate the mount failure
message. Hopefully you still have that in the logs.
So, you used -L and threw away your logs; at this point it's not
surprising that repair found lots of errors. It put many files in
lost+found; this will continue to generate repair output until you move
lost+found to some new name. repair unlinks lost+found at the start,
and re-discovers these "lost" inodes each time.
Try mounting the filesystem again to see why it's really failing (check
system logs or dmesg).
