i found the stability is highly dependent on the in game settings. i have a full amd system, cpu+graphics. considering i had an amd card (latest gen) i would disable ray tracing and fsr and most of the time i couldn't even get past the initial loading screen without crashing. found that setting fsr to balanced and enabling ray tracing to lowest settings would let me play for 4-5 hours before crashing. I'm on Linux so most likely still need to play around with the lighting options for better Vulcan support.
I run a heavily modded game on an rtx 2060, and the only crashes I have are VRAM related, and your experience sounds similar to my crashes. Crowd density, texture quality (main menu setting only), and dlss settings are the major factors for whether I crash on load or not.
I also recall that ray tracing shadows or reflections helped with VRAM, but the FPS hit wasn't worth it to me.
Depending on your setup, and if you're mod savvy, you might be interested in the FSR3 Frame Gen mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/14726. Short version is that it replaces DLSSG with FSR3 and allows frame generation to be used with a ton of GPUs that can't normally use it. Makes UI elements feel choppier, but the overall performance increase is nuts (helps CPU and GPU bottlenecks). Without it, I can't reasonably play above low crowd density, and with it, I can play on high density pretty easily.
