Terminus.

Used Windows terminal and it kept crashing after a while.

Ubuntu Terminal is ok. It gets the job done.

At the end Terminus won out for me.

EDIT: I don't and haven't touched Terminus in a long while.

These days I switch between Windows Terminal and Alacritty. The latter for speed. Doesn't have panes and windows, but that's what tmux is for.

I'm afraid that being just another emulator, in the end I'll run into similar issues like with ConEmu...

Anything you use from a GUI though is a terminal emulator, no matter what they say otherwise. An actual terminal is either physical hardware (usually connected through a serial line, like the old DEC VT100 or the famous IBM 3270) or a text-based video mode on your GPU (such as the classic 80x25 VGA text mode used by DOS).
