Moving to nvidia-prime again because I have absolutely no idea what to do. Yes, ksmserver crashes in the XIO errorhandler, the handler is from kdelibs and meant to attempt a cleanup to prevent data loss. The problem is not that it crashes, the problem is that it gets an XIO error with prime, while it does not get one without it (i.e. because it does not crash - even if it did manage a cleanup before exiting it would still result in a defunct session as KSMServer does the session management)..
