Funny, I've just got recent Samsung nvme for my primary drive, and was trying to figure out its erase block size. Samsung support was completely abysmal, they refused to give any information and said something weird like "we aren't allowed to support Linux users". Whaat??
I ended up setting 6 MiB offset for partitions to account for some potentially weird erase block sizes (like 1536 KiB one). And fio produces some of these results.
