I *may* have found a workaround. The crashing definitely started when I upgraded to 18.0.3, and I don't think going from 18.0.2 to 18.0.3 required a database upgrade so I'm not sure why it would have happened. Before deciding to downgrade back to 18.0.2, I decided to try reproducing the project file to see if it was file related. So far, it appears to be.
I thought that if it was a corrupt file, then the backup would be corrupted too, so I created a new, empty project file. I then exported the project settings from the original project file and loaded them into the new one. Then back in the old project file I selected all the bins in the left-hand pane of the media pool and chose FILE > COPY from the menu. I then opened the new, empty file and pasted them into the media pool.
Lo and behold it seems to have worked. I had to re-link some original media and proxies en masse but everything plays. I've been adding duration markers to a multi-cam clip for a few hours now and have experienced no crashes. I even played a 6K timeline with raw media that my system couldn't keep up with and it didn't crash, whereas previously I could perform one operation and it would crash.
Give this a try and see if it helps you.
