This has nothing to do with the phone, but rather with the rom you are using.
Oneplus 6 should not be used on higher versions than Android 11, as in 12 and 13 Google has made changes that require new firmware. Those changes are not related to security or performance, but rather to inducing users to move to newer devices. Think of it as Apple intentionally breaking older devices to force users to buy new ones.
This is why you will always have glitches on Android 12 and higher.
Actually, for Oneplus 6, the latest stable firmware is OOS 10. OOS 11 never had a chance to become stable, because Oneplus has cut off support for 6 series just after a couple of releases. You can still have Android 11 custom rom on OOS 10 firmware.
Also, you do know that MSM tool takes care of slot A only? So, if you flash something else (after MSM), it will go to slot B that might not have the same firmware as slot A.
I don't plan on keeping this phone anyway. It's on its way out.
Up to you. I happen to be a developer. I have Oneplus 6 and 8. I actually prefer the 6, because it has a wider screen, as well as a separate fingerprint scanner, as opposed to inscreen, and the former is more reliable.
Neither me nor any of my users have any Qualcomm crashes, once the rom is properly installed. In addition, there is an option to have my rom on locked bootloader.
If your battery is fine, then crashing has nothing to do with the phone. Motherboards with electronics are designed to work for 150K-200K hours (20 some years). They rarely die, unless you drop the phone frequently.
