Experiencing consistent, frequent crashes since 11.0.
Some world quests, Memories event (Hogger is fine, Stitches can freeze 70% of the time, Dragonflight seems fine, other Dustwallow Marsh ALWAYS freezes every quest).
Flying, pressing Skyward Ascent.
Sometimes just moving the camera left or right.
Game isn’t playable, feels awful. All addons disabled.
Same.

Incomplete logs, or incomplete information about mac (such as hardware specs and macOS version) isn’t helpful
Moronai we need to know everything
Tundra we need full crash log. if it generated a crash it should be in errors folder (within wow folder)
Found the source of the issue-
Unchecking the “Async Resource Creation” box under Compatibility Settings in Graphics ended the problem completely.
All other new graphic options seem to be fine.
Still doesn’t answer the question. we don’t know your specs to know why that work around works. but since that specific work around does work, it is likely a limited resource thing (maybe low memory configuration?) and async resource creation is too demanding
