This I have a problem with, if it crashes, I'd prefer it stay crashed, instead of crashing over and over.

At least when it crashes, a human can come and see why it's crashing, rather than doing the caveman thing and just restarting it over and over.

The restart 'strategy' is a one line configuration change in the unit file. "Restart=always" vs "Restart=no". See:
