hmm...just another data point, I have been running 19.10 on two PCs for several weeks.
I have had no crashing issues. And, I routinely stream from Youtube at the same time as playing local audio. The UB Studio controls let me set up jack to run all the time with a pulse audio source/sink that get all the system audio. UBS Controlss just sets it up and it it's there evey time I boot. I like Carla and have not even looked at QJackctl for months. I had some trouble with firewire. I have not had more time to fiddle with that.
