I'm running a 2017 iMac; macOS 11.6; 1TB external Crucial SSD plugged
into a Thunderbolt 3 port. Recently I've been getting an automatic
Restart every several days, while I'm out of the room and unable to
watch it happen. Here is a link to the report returned from the latest
event:

I can't get enough from that report to give me a clue what is going
awry. Can someone out there more knowledgable than I am make some sense
of this? Thank you.

In my experience, MacOS usually only crashes when there's an unexpected hardware event. I'm sure it will crash in other circumstances, but most of the
crashes I've seen on my machines have been because of a hard drive or other device not behaving properly.
Try switching the Crucial to a USB3.
Or get another drive from another vendor, copy the OS onto the new drive. See if that gives you problems.
Just a SWAG, but it'll be a pain to diagnose and mitigate.
