Sysmon 15.0 is out now with advanced features
I was specifically using the https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular config, but once we started seeing systems crash I tried building extremely minimal configs and still found them causing hangs.

Splunk & Sysmon as SIEM
I use this one: https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular

Looking for inputs and validation for this network setup.
2) There are many opensource solutions, and you hit on all the important ones. Think creativitly, and test all your controls. hit your boxes with Metaspoilt and atomic redteam. These tools will help you verify that you have the proper controls in place, and that you are able to detect attacks (successful, and failed). Run auditd with Florian Roth's rule set on your linux boxes (https://github.com/Neo23x0/auditd/blob/master/audit.rules ), and sysmon (https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular) on windows.

Is Windows Defender for Business any good?
Agree. Harden your endpoints (if unsure where to start consider hardening kitty, https://github.com/scipag/HardeningKitty) and harden Defender (https://0ut3r.space/2022/03/06/windows-defender/). Add Sysmon with a good config (https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular) and you've reached a good starting point.

Security Cadence: Sysmon (Logging Part 2 out of ?????)
Another really excellent resource (also called out by Swift) is Olaf Hartong’s Sysmon-Modular project: https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular As well as having a few full configs, Olaf’s project has modular XML configurations for each supported Sysmon Event ID. This can be incredibly helpful for fine tuning your configs.

splunk sysmon events
Yes absolutely. This is a very common workflow for both. One note is that you need to also find a sysmon config to use as well, and there's no easy way to manage either sysmon or its config through Splunk. Recommendations for a config are either SwiftOnSecurity's or Olaf's SysmonModular. They significantly overlap and work with each other on patches. SwiftOnSecurity's is a better pure drop-in, and Olaf's is better if you want to do customization.

Best monitoring software that works like event logs?
For some of the items you mentioned having a good sysmon config would help too. https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config or https://github.com/olafhartong/sysmon-modular are good starting points
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Windows-Toolkit and sysmon-modular you can also consider the following projects:
bashbunny-payloads - The Official Bash Bunny Payload Repository
sysmon-config - Sysmon configuration file template with default high-quality event tracing
Fail2Ban - Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
atomic-red-team - Small and highly portable detection tests based on MITRE's ATT&CK.
usbrubberducky-payloads - The Official USB Rubber Ducky Payload Repository
DetectionLabELK - DetectionLabELK is a fork from DetectionLab with ELK stack instead of Splunk.
gitleaks - Protect and discover secrets using Gitleaks 🔑
auditd - Best Practice Auditd Configuration
lynis - Lynis - Security auditing tool for Linux, macOS, and UNIX-based systems. Assists with compliance testing (HIPAA/ISO27001/PCI DSS) and system hardening. Agentless, and installation optional.
