General recommendations:
Control warning line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/mysql_error.log file
Control error line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/mysql_error.log file
Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.
Reduce or eliminate unclosed connections and network issues
Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1
When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries which have no LIMIT clause
Performance schema should be activated for better diagnostics
Consider installing Sys schema from https://github.com/mysql/mysql-sys for MySQL
Consider installing Sys schema from https://github.com/FromDual/mariadb-sys for MariaDB
Before changing innodb_log_file_size and/or innodb_log_files_in_group read this:
Variables to adjust:
*** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
*** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
tmp_table_size (> 16M)
max_heap_table_size (> 16M)
performance_schema = ON enable PFS
innodb_log_file_size should be (=768M) if possible, so InnoDB total log files size equals to 25% of buffer pool size.

Now, I want to say that I use WP All Import to inject products into the site. I start imports with cronjobs, and I have 3 or 4 that run every night to update the stock and delete the products that are no longer part of the offer. When these imports run, my CPU utilisation is at 70 - 80%. I want to make sure my DB is not the culprit here, so any help is appreciated. Below please find my.conf for mariadb.

Thank you for the help in advance.

Rules for memory allocation.
innodb_buffer_pool_size such that most of RAM is in use during normal time and even for spikes in activity. (I often say "set it to 70% of available RAM", but you are asking for more details.)There are 3 situations (based on innodb_buffer_pool_size and dataset size):
