I have used my M1 MacBook Pro 14" for two years and have no problem using Stems. Could you compare your settings to mine, particularly the Performance stemsRealtimeSeperation "Always" setting

I notice you have your SSD formatted ExFat. Mine was initially the same, however, I started getting lots of corruption i.e. loading a song into a player and when playing, it was a different song. Also it was not particularly quick at loading.

I have been having a bit of a nightmare with my trusted WD Passport HDs, they were getting corrupted every time I connected them to Sonoma. I then bought a 2tb Crucial X9 SSD external drive which came pre-formatted for ExFat so interchangeable between macOS & Windows. I still had problems with corruption and being unable to 'mount' the SSD. Eventually, I had to 'bite the bullet' and reformatted the SSD to Apple's APFS filing system. The SSD is more responsive and much faster with Apple's native formatting and mounts instantly.
So, it appears that Sonoma works much better with external drives formatted to Apple's native APFS.😊

Personal opinion:
ExFAT is the most unstable filesystem ever.
Use NTFS or APFS, and if not possible, then there are tools that let you format large drives to FAT32.
It's still better than ExFAT in my honest opinion
