Here is the EtreCheck report

I don't see any of the usual suspects. In fact you have very few third party apps installed which run in the background which is good for a stable smooth running system. Unfortunately it confirms what I suspected from those Kernel Panic logs you posted......your laptop most likely has a hardware failure which will need to be repaired. I saw another thread on this forum which had a similar type of Kernel Panic which also appears to be a hardware failure.
More than likely the Logic Board is bad and will need to be replaced. Make sure to have good backups of all your data stored on the internal SSD of this laptop before having Apple examine your laptop to provide you a quote to repair it. Keep in mind the internal SSD is an integrated part of the Logic Board.
Unfortunately most Apple techs & agents do not know how to interpret Kernel Panics, so getting them to authorize a repair can sometimes be difficult. You can help yourself out by creating a new APFS volume and install macOS onto it.
The two OS installations will coexist side by side to allow you to continue using the laptop until you can get Apple to repair it, but it allows you to test out the clean install of macOS to confirm it also has Kernel Panics. If a clean install of macOS also has Kernel Panics, then Apple will take notice & perform a hardware repair. Just make sure not to install any third party apps, migrate/restore from backup, or enable your AppleID/iCloud. You want it to just contain macOS & its default apps. You can switch between them by changing the default Startup Disk in System Settings, or you can access the Startup Options screen to select which OS to boot (FYI, it may reboot twice in order to switch to the other OS).
You can try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected, but I doubt it will report any issues. If the diagnostics report a hardware issue, then that may be sufficient for Apple to repair the laptop.
Just to be safe I would recommend performing an "Erase All Content & Settings" to wipe the laptop before the repair....or do this once they confirm they have authorized a repair. Since you don't have much third party software installed, doing this now may not impact things and would save you from having to install macOS beside itself. Your choice if the diagnostics don't report any issues.
