One some net4801's without WIFI, I also experience frequent
freezes after a couple of hours up to 2-5 days... so it's

What's your kern.hz value? In my /boot/loader.conf, it is set
to 100. Could you try it too, and see if you can still freeze
the box (just to rule out some weird timing / interrupt issue)?
