The answer is: It depends.

RFB is perfectly acceptable for mission play, but the missions themselves must be compatible. For example, missions included with RFB will be ok, but stock missions, which feature different ships, or versions of ships are going to result in a CTD.

This applies equally to missions you yourself create. If you want to create a mission to play with X-Y-Z mods, you should build the mission with those mods (and only those mods) enabled in the game. Otherwise, if there are differences in the units present, they may cause a CTD. The game is very fussy about the exact names of units, the different rosters, ship types, dates of availability, etc.

I hope this explains it well enough. Tbh, I couldn't give you an exact list of the things that cause problems in this area, but I've had the same thing happen when I forgot mission X was developed with a different mod assortment than I had at the moment.
