That crash still looks like it's the one that happens from a bad libsmbios initialization. Can you disable the Dell plugin harder?
Like this: # sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd-plugins-3/libfu_plugin_dell.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd-plugins-3/libfu_plugin_dell.so.old That will prevent it from even running it's init method (usually blacklist makes it abort after init).
