Occasional multithreading related crashes (especially benchmark scene)

When running the benchmark scene, it sometimes crashes it's running Godot process. This happens with one worker thread but is amplified when using more. It also seems to happen independently from using or not using the "feeder thread" in JobQueue.

Next steps would be to make a minimal reproduction project to narrow down what makes it crash. Perhaps it's a missing mutex or something else that could lead to memory corruption, or even an engine bug.

Edit: This also sometimes happens when launching the editor and when saving scripts in the editor (hot reloading related). I also had a crash once in the running solar system demo scene that may be related.

The crash usually looks like this:

Iteration 1 finished in 12.598ms.
Iteration 2 finished in 488.927ms.
Iteration 3 finished in 5.576ms.
Iteration 4 finished in 19.339ms.
