Sorry if was not clear.  Only 6.19.4 has kernel crash. 
The summary is:

 - 7.0-rc1 - no kernel issues
    boots fine and does not crash when nftables is invoked.  
    But, It has an nft error and fails to load rules with
older nftables userspace.
    Same rules load fine using updated nftables.

- 6.19.4 - crashes whenever nftables is invoked.
  Does not matter which userspace nftables is used, older or newer

- 6.19.3 - works fine.

I will report back soon as have finished testing 6.19.4 with commit
f175b46d9134
