Do you have a display and keyboard you can connect to it? If you can get video out, and it accepts keyboard input, you can just log in locally and reboot.
I have a desktop system that crashes similarly, though pings also fail. Unfortunately for me, local access also doesn’t work so I simply hard power cycle it like what you’ve been doing for your Pi.

From my post. But also it sits in a shelf where anyway don’t have much space to put anything else. It also happens too rarely that it wouldn’t make sense to get specifically for this a display and keyboard in place.

Oh apologies, I missed that line in your post.
You wouldn’t need to keep the monitor/keyboard there the whole time. Just connect them temporarily when it has the issue. This obviously doesn’t work if you don’t have a monitor or a keyboard you could borrow from a different system.
