Hi Bill! FWIW, I’ve got a few friends on Big Sur that complain to me daily about system panics and such. Heck, I’ve got some of the same types of problems on my home Mini (Catalina).
Please run Disk Utility on each disk volume/partition to make sure the file system is clean, then reset the nvram, and perhaps reduce the number of external devices and apps running all the time. If that doesn’t improve things: Provide a description of your environment… Stock iMac? RAM? Network setup? VPN? etc Maybe hit me off-list with a zipped system.log (be sure to tell me when the crash occurred). - Dan.
