If it's not seen(no device found) loading the driver with kextload will not help. Nothing happens.
I don't think a real Mac would do much better, BTW. Maybe maintenance would be easier.
What makes Logic and Cubase unstable is a combination of 3rd party plugins. It will work fine one day, but after a restart the project suddenly refuses to load or crashes. The crash logs points at some random 3rd party plugin, but that's not it. Reshuffling the way the plugins load will often fix the problem.
I have less trouble with Bitwig, it might be that they have better protection/sandboxing against misbehaving plugins.
On the other hand, I use Bitwig more for sketching and as a playground, the real work is done in Logic or Cubase.
And I like to test new plugins, so my system is always in a state of flux.
What doesn't help either is that I never commit stuff to plain audio, I will keep MIDI with lots of software instruments and plugins until I bounce a master. I could freeze/commit stuff, but the whole composing/recording/mixing/mastering stuff is now a fluid process, and committing breaks the flow for me.
