On both of my M1-based Macs running Parallels Desktop all the Windows 11 VMs crash within minutes of running. This started after the B8 upgrade. Is anybody else seeing this?

I restored to a v17 version of Parallels and have tried older backups of the guest, but the problems persist. The Windows 11 guests are both release versions and Previews.
 
For me Parallels Desktop (v. 18.02 / Windows 11) runs without problems (MacBook M1 2020 / 16GB). Only when I put the VM into standby, it happens from time to time that I have to force close Parallels Desktop (after VM is in standby). But I think that happens also in B7. When working in the VM I have no crashes or any other problems.
 
It looks like Sharing BlueTooth and SmartCard Reader creates the issue.
I toggled it off - no crashes. Turn them on, crashes again.
File with both Parallels and Apple.
