If the MB was connected via wired Ethernet then ping would likely still work, and that would be a useful diagnostic. (If ping were to fail then that would indicate that the unit is hitting a kernel oops or something like that which leans more toward hardware failure.)

Mine is wired to Ethernet, and it’s not possible to ping it after it crashes.

Boris had a look, logged on to my MB and the only unusual he noted was that the MB CPU-% spikes every full hour to 200+ values. To see that for your MB, go to the "generate graph-tab" and select "MBPRO-health" graph. The cause is unclear. Switching of all events, all uploads and even disabling internet access did not change the pattern.

My MBP red cap CPU (grey) spikes to 153% every hour as well

I see spikes every full hour close to or over 100%. The one indicated by 14(:00) was 137%.
At 17:00 (not in the screenshot) there was a spike of 154%.
