A few other users who use the local display have reported their systems become unresponsive after a time. I have been able to reproduce this behavior with a HDMI display (see the thread), but not with the DSI 7-in touchscreen display. Another difference is they are using an I2S DAC and I was testing with a USB DAC. Some of the users reported their system would recover, as did yours, but in my case it could not.
The issue I found is due to the chromium-browser's renderer process, after a time, consuming system memory to the point Linux crashes. We don't yet know the root cause. The syslog you provided doesn't end with messages which are consistent with this hypothesis.
On the other hand, your syslog contains dozens of error/warn/fail messages. Some but not all of the xinit ones have been seen on other systems when the local display function is enabled and I'm not sure they relate to your issue. Others I've never seen before. The tail of the syslog suggests you are running IPv6 on your LAN; dhcpd was reporting problems with it at the end. Again, I'm not sure this relates to your issue.
When you do the step-by-step reinstall, pay attention to the messages at each step to see if you can sort them out.
