I personally have had it happen both with the SN740 and an SK Hynix drive, on a Latitude 7455. It's an SSD-only issue (disabling ASPM just for the drive, but keeping it on for the WiFi, was enough to get to month-long uptime) but not specific to any SSD model.
Are the steps to reproduce roughly
* boot without disabling ASPM
* wait
* system reboots on its own (or just freezes?)
?
