Upgrade from Mavericks to High Sierra finally successful, but unstable system

Yes, there was an issue but its resolved now and queued emails are in process.

Your EFI is not as per the guide. Several things are enabled which aren't meant for your hardware. Also, the DSDT is not patched correctly.
The guide is for installations. There were some additions necessary in postinstall to get WiFi and audio running. The DSDT was created by someone else with the same hardware many years ago and worked fine in Lion and Mavericks. I never tried to patch it.
Macs Fan Control does not recognize any fans. If there is a kext or driver to help with that it might be possible to get rid of the freezes.
