We'll want to see your error log again, after the full-screen crash happens ;)

The error log still says that some shaders aren't supported, when there are instances where the game obviously runs as intended. I'm planning to make a video on this issue, see how this works out.

It seems like my issue was fixed fully, all I had to do was enable "ExclusiveFullscreenMode" in the settings configuration.. Still, one thing that bothers me a little is that ExclusiveFullscreen crashes the game on Alt + Tab. What is the main point of Exclusive Fullscreen?

That's a feature of Unity, rendering directly to the screen buffer (eventually changing screen's resolution to game's resolution beforehand) instead of rendering to a window that fills the whole screen.
I wonder if what helps is the lower VRAM usage of exclusive mode:
