I missed this issue. Are you still looking for help?
Yes, it reproduces stable. This adapter only works "out of the box" for connecting to AP Any interface manipulation results in lockup

I cannot argue with you on this statement. I've been hoping to see a new version of this driver that has a lot of fixes. Monitor mode with this driver is not good.
Any interface manipulation results in lockup
My suggestion to fellow Linux users looking to do work with monitor mode is to go to this repo and find a good adapter that uses in-kernel, standards compliant drivers:

My personal favorite adapters are the ALFA AWUS036ACM (AC1200) and the ALFA AWUS036ACHM (AC600) but there are plenty of others that use in-kernel drivers. There are two BIG advantages to using adapters with in-kernel drivers:

Attempt to iw dev wlan1 del iw phy phy1 interface add type monitor lead to command hang and then many other processes also hang so reboot is required for example : iw phy (hang) rmmod 88x2bu (hang) ping 1.1.1.1 (hang)
