The backtrace is often caused by an invalid firmware table that is motherboard/firmware specific. My understanding is you can press 'o' at the clover screen and investigate whether your firmware includes the MATS or DMAR table, and if so, you need to add an ACPI patch in clover configurator (in config.plist) to drop these tables. There are threads in the forum about it. There are several tables that 10.13 does not like if they are present in firmware but these seem to be the most prominent. I'll upload a screenshot of what clover configurator and just quick looking your config.plist should look like after you make the change. P.S. I don't know that it would harm your system to just go ahead and drop both of them, but without knowing if your firmware has them, if the system continued to backtrace, you wouldn't be clear on if the fix should have worked.

Rather than dropping tables, better to use config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Fixes/FixHeaders_20000000=true
