I had the same problem as the original poster and I think it's solved now.
I have a brand new Apple Macbook M3 Max that came with Sonoma (14.1.1) installed. I installed Ableton Live (version 11.3.13) and about 100 plugins. For about 30% of the plugins, loading the plugin made Ableton crash, every single time. Same results with the AUv2 vs. VST3 plugins. Rebooting didn't help. I went back to my old Mac, which runs the exact same version of Sonoma and Ableton but has Intel chips -- and the same plugins loaded fine. The makers of all these plugins say they run natively on Apple Silicon and they are well-known, trusted vendors (Soundtoys, UAD, Slate Digital).
Then I updated to Sonoma version 14.2.1....and now all the plugins load correctly. It seems too easy, but it's proven true with all the plugins, even after a reboot. I hope that's the answer!
