I don't question the troubles you've had. But for additional/alternate data: I've currently got a Ryzen 3960x 24 core with 128Gb of RAM. Twin internal Nvme drives, one for OS/Programs, the other for all cache files. I run PrPr and Resolve daily. Some use of both Ae and Au also. I have an older computer that used to be my 'main' but is now a backup, still used occasionally. Plus a laptop. On the desktop, I've run four screens in PrPro for several years with zero crashes. First a 1060, now a 2080Ti. I've always had both a ton of internal drives, and external via USB3 for both SSDs and large spinners. Never had an issue with them. I've used the Productions mode of Premiere for about three years now, and it is built to handle large multi-operator projects like long-form and episodic, and is used heavily for that around the world. It's also the best way to run a small one-person operation like mine, as all my b-roll, sound library, graphics, everything, is available on all projects for all clients. Smoothly, no duplications or anything, no glitches, it just works. So ... this all depends on so many frickin' variables. Maddening.
