Not sure what you mean...

You cannot have Calendars without Lightning - it is what provides the
calendar functionality.

I used to think I preferred having the calendar in a separate window,
but resigned myself to having it in a tab when the update that changed
that happened.

Now, I prefer it in a tab.

I don't think that preference is a good enough reason to stick with an
unsupported version of Thunderbird, but that is up to you.

How many calendars, and how many task lists?

Either way, I hope you understand, that is a huge number, and the super
vast majority of users do not have anywhere close to that many, the vast
majority probably have less than 6.

The problem is with Thunderbird.

This is a known issue, and one that is not easily fixable, because it
has to do with the underlying non-threaded code.

Because everything works on one thread, and the calendar code is not
written to throttle itself when working.

It is likely a bug related to the huge number of calendars you have, but
one that is unlikely to be specifically addressed, but may be fixed
if/when the underlying code is rewritten.
