So what's that new framework? Can I use it to reliably transmit stack traces when the app crashes?

Thank you for the link, this is interesting. It's nice Apple is apparently building support for custom crash reporting into the OS.
From a privacy perspective it sounds like it logs exactly the same info that I currently log with PLCrashReporter, except that it only works on macOS 12.

Ah ok
In any case, I received only a handful of crash reports from Apple. I thought everything was okay, except that customers occasionally reported an issue, but I never got a crash report from Apple that could explain the situation. Until I built my own reporting solution, which just sends a stack trace to my server in a signal handler. I started receiving dozens of crash reports per week.
So while on the one hand I applaud Apple for trying to do the right thing, as a developer I can only say that the crash reports they share with developers are so few they are close to useless.
