Crash in Skyranger Post-mission

Long War 1.5, PC/Windows 10
Mod List
If it's relevant, I'm in the early-mid game (Octoberish iirc, Mag-level technology, two regions liberated, eight total contacted, currently infiltrating the Blacksite with a different squad) and the mission was a Dark VIP capture/kill. I've had the same issue several times, including using the restart mission console command and other quick cheats to try out both killing and capturing the VIP - both same result.
I've tried clearing my other save files and my config again, and re-verifying the integrity of the game files several times. I now get notified that one file (rather than the previous two) is unverifiable and being replaced every time I re-verify after a crash, but it doesn't achieve anything. I've noticed that the crash takes a long time to come, but the Skyranger animation is still playing throughout (it does its slow zoom thing alllll the way to the back of the Skyranger and then back in again) - that is to say, by the time the crash comes in a normal mission, the Skyranger animation would have already finished and we'd be back at the Avenger, so I don't think it's a case of a memory leak shooting down my game before it can load the Avenger? It feels more like it's getting 'stuck' on the Skyranger sequence (although I'm not an expert on stuff like this).
Fwiw, I've not added, removed, or changed any mods during the course of this run, and I don't think it's a mod update making one incompatible because I successfully completed a mission and made it back to the Avenger about an hour and a half/two hours before this bug first presented earlier today.
Is there anything I can do, or is this where I accept I was an idiot for playing ironman and call it quits?
