To be fair, it may not be a task overflow in a task you start. Any chance you can post your code here?
it's open source.

Chances are most problems are power problems, esp if ona dev kit and from PC USB on crappy USB cable.

Even straight in power problems often occur if not careful.

using 20A BFT-Lighting power supply for 95LEDs here. it's not a power problem.

Espressif does not endorse or maintain 3rd party libraries and applications that run on top of esp-idf, which includes arduino itself, let alone any drivers/libraries you include from the libraries manager. It is expected that these may run on one controller, but crash on another, irrespective if it's more/less powerful.

If you want peace of mind, learn to build the arduino core from esp-idf. That way you can configure the watchdog and other things the way you like. The arduino stock settings aren't necessarily ideal for every use-case.
