Here too, I've been using Terminal for about a week (1-2 windows open, usually with a few WSL tabs in each), and I see at least one crash a day. My version is also 0.5.2762.0.

I doubt SSH has anything to do with it though. Whatever software runs in WSL doesn't concern the Terminal, it just handles console input and output.

I have experienced this too. A few tabs, ssh inside wsl, cmd, sqlplus (oracle tool). It will just abort when I'm not even actively using it. Also on version 0.5.2762.0.
Is there an option to enable better collection of crash data?

This might be a bit better as of v0.6. Would you mind reporting whether you still see sporadic crashes once you've updated?
Thanks!
