It's not crashing, it's restarting.
Every time you add/edit/remove domain or change template or proxy extensions, or every time you or cron generate LetsEncrypt SSL... both Apache and nginx will be restarted.

Let me clarify. After the server reboots the apache2.service is in a failed state. If I run it again later it starts just fine.

For the time being I have created a cron job that runs 90 seconds after the server reboots and that seems to have apache2 working correctly. I am trying to discover why it is entering a failed state.

Thanks.

Probably network is not ready at that time, so Apache can't bind IP address.
I had the same problem on some virtuelizations, I solved in the similar way, I used /etc/rc.local to start apache and nginx after 60 seconds from server boot.
