When this happens, type "C-h l" and see if Emacs really got those 'z' characters in its input. If it did, there's nothing Emacs can do about it: the OS somehow stuffs those characters into the Emacs input queue. > My second issue is that if left running (typically unattended or out of > focus) for a long time emacs crashes.

Yes, please, we need backtraces from GDB to try to understand what could cause these crashes. > I have a couple of backtraces below for the zzzz issue: Those backtraces just say that Emacs is idle waiting for input. They give no hint about the problem, which is expected if the problem is outside of Emacs.
