I skipped the ath10k_qmi_host_cap_send_sync block altogether
(if that is what you meant by qcom,snoc-host-cap-skip-quirk) and
so far did not run into any issues with youtube auto-playback loop
(3+ hours and counting). Does that count as a valid use case?
Otherwise let me know how could I reproduce a reasonable test
setup?

While using the wlanmdsp.mbn from linux-firmware, I run into
the following crash 4 times before tqftpserv service gets killed
eventually:
