This is really odd. We run a lot of bridges with such settings. Or, to
be specific, for us, 'setfd' is always 0, 'setageing' is either 0 or
300, depending if we want the bridge to act as a 'hub' or not. STP is
always off.

Under these circumstances, we have never seen a timer interrupt
storm. But perhaps it is particular to having STP on.
