Based on your description, you've already found a successful workaround by delaying the start of Network Manager. This indicates the system is stable otherwise.
As you've noted, older kernels work correctly. For now, the most stable solution is to continue using the last known-working kernel version for your daily tasks. The most crucial clues will be in the system logs from the boot attempt that ended in a panic. After you've rebooted successfully (either with the workaround or an older kernel), you can view the logs from the previous boot.
