I don't recall ever bothering with playing stock SH4. But I know that with only TMO and RSRDC (and its patch) I would CTD almost every time I tried to return to port. I started saving when about 200 miles out so that I could reload and try again. Usually that would let me end a patrol. Usually.
After I added in OTC it got even worse. Convoys would sometimes crash me out. Getting too close to ANY harbor almost definitely would.
And then I found LAA. I haven't crashed out since. I can load the museum and I can sail straight into Pearl Harbor at the end of a patrol.
The game could do anything I wanted without LAA. Except keep running.
