unfortunately none of the DB2 & DB4 are getting any solutions for driver related issues.

The easiest and only fix I see would be to invest into a proper audio interface and use the mixer as an analogue device with no midi/usb functionality.
Getting another laptop is just another gamble as mst macs wont work (even old gen Intel ones), Ryzen CPUs wont work. You are left with intel cpus on windows, which according to your experience isnt working either.

Your post came in a little late…
I was using a surface pro 4, but the screen suffered of flickergate; so it was time to get a new PC in March.
The new Mac M1 looked awsome but internet was saying that lots of audio software is not working with the new macs….
I contacted Allen Heath to confirm this and in fact M1 is not supported.

Now stupid me thought, Zephyrus G14 looks good. AMD core of course.. Who would have thought that it would cause issues? At the end its windows 🙂

Anyways, my experience so far (Xone DB2 user):
– PC going crazy after a while, Chrome extensions are crashing, chrome is crashing while mixer is plugged in.
– no BSODs but PC gets unusable due to the funkyness
– latest firmware on mixer and latest driver on PC is installed. (Firmware updater does only worked through my old IMAC)

At least you guys with a DB4 can hope for a new driver 🙂 I assume the discontinued DB2 wont get any.
