The Crashes of Grian
I googled "fabric crashes with falling block" and found this GitHub Issue in the Sodium Repo. Solution: install Indium, because continuity relies on it to bridge over to sodium.

Sand?
It`s Indium. https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/issues/1324

if https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/issues/1006 is what you are talking about, it is an upstream issue for any forge port of the sodium mod

Does anyone know why my Minecraft looks really jagged? It looks like the anti-aliasing/anisotropic filtering is really off or something.
Wow, a reasonable criticism! According to this issue, transparency sorting hasn’t been implemented, and so the behavior is inconsistent. Surprised to see a pull request linked that had fixed it, but was never merged and is now incompatible. Definitely affects users who have farms and stained glass builds though!

Optifine making chunks/the entire world invisible?
The problem with the multithreaded version of Optifine is that OpenGL doesn't officially support multithreading (at least not with older versions of OpenGL; Sodium (for modern versions) uses a "multidraw" function to get up to 10x the FPS but also uses OpenGL 4+, and even then it has issues on many drivers. Note that using such modern features would require a "core profile", precluding the use of all legacy fixed-function methods so the entire renderer would have to be rewritten).
