Comment on Big Sur panic when connect/disconnect usb-c dock
Have you tried connecting the monitor with a USB-C to HDMI cable? Avoid plugging it in through a dock/adapter. Also, check if your monitor can be setup to use DisplayPort 1.1. My Dell monitor uses DP 1.2 by default but it can be disabled via the monitor on-screen menu -> Display -> DP 1.2 -> Disable. Once I turned off DP 1.2 I never had another crash.

Upgrading your docking station is unlikely to make any difference. In fact, you're likely to get kernel panics even if you connect your monitor directly to your laptop (and not through a docking station). If you're using a DisplayPort connection I'd suggest trying a USB-C to HDMI cable instead - this did the trick for me. Also, if your monitor supports it, disabling DisplayPort 1.2 also fixed the issue in my case.
