Afer a reboot (and installation of postfix-3.4.5) I am getting the stat-writer permission denied error again.

Why would I change the group from the group the socket is using?
mode = 0666
That cannot possibly be best practice.
I'm not opening up any part of my mail stack to all processes.

Then figure out what user/group needs the access and set the perms.
I can't help you other than what I've shown you.
(my box doesn't have foreign users on it, so this was the most espedient route for me).

Well, stats-write has an owner and group of dovecot, as I showed.

I do believe that imap reader processes write stats as the *USER*.
