I'm not familiar with EX4550, I would expect it's single PFE.

It's very hard to find 3rd party optic which does not work, you've been
'lucky'. Looking at any bug database from any vendor, you can have issues
with vendor optics too.

You could restart the PFE, it's bit faster but still full outage. Just
change your optic supplier.
