So my question is how best to configure the DSSUs with the goal of
optimized de-staging. I will have 6TB to configure as desired on the
backup server. If I understand correctly, the more concurrent streams
allowed to the DSSUs, the slower the de-staging because of interleaved
backup streams.

The DSSU consists of a set of files with each file being a backup image and you define the maximum size of each file within an image.  There is no "interleaving".  When you destage, one image at a time goes to tape.

Watch your fragment sizes and watch your disk file system fragmentation...
