As an update, it's now been roughly a week with no freezes or crashes
for me. I have not changed my usage pattern: same dock, same external
display, devices, etc., and same applications used. I did change one
thing however. When I was switching again to the linux-image-
oem-20.04-edge I decided to reinstall it just to be sure. I spotted a
post-install warning I didn't notice previously:

  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-1016-oem
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module 
i915
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module 
i915

I indeed did not have tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin on my machine, despite having
linux-firmware installed. It did not seem available in any installable
package, so I decided to grab this one file from a newer debian package
(it was added upstream a few months back) and reinstalled again with it
in place. There was no update-initramfs warning this time, and I haven't
had a freeze since.

It could be a coincidence of course, but maybe the kernel/firmware
relationship is related.
