Photoshop creates panoramas with a lot of bugs

Please help me with an issue.

I specialize in photographing natural materials such as marble, granite, and wood veneer (I shoot flat surfaces, moving evenly across them). I create panoramic images, and from time to time I encounter a recurring problem. Photoshop stitches panoramas from my photos, but sometimes the result is not usable. It doesn’t happen often, but it does occur. I will provide several examples of the panoramas Photoshop produces and explain what exactly is wrong with them.

In my workflow, I use Photoshop on both Windows workstations and Mac. On Mac, this issue happens rarely, but it still occurs. On Windows, it happens more frequently. In the past, there were times when Photoshop on both Windows and Mac would consistently produce panoramas with visible banding/seams. Reinstalling Photoshop, restarting the machines, installing updates, or even changing software versions did not help (this was tested simultaneously on two Windows computers and one Mac). Then, after two or three days, everything would suddenly start working perfectly on both Mac and Windows.

At the moment, I have the following issue: on Mac, panoramas are created perfectly, but on Windows I get a large number of glitches with the exact same source images.

Please help! This problem has remained unresolved for years, and I cannot understand what is causing it.
