FIX 1: Disable SideCar
Using the sidecar functionality, you can use your iPad in landscape orientation as a second display for your Mac. However, going by the current crash report shared by the affected users, this seems to be the common culprit in all these cases. Therefore, it is recommended that you turn off this feature on your Mac from the System Settings > Displays menu and then check if it rectifies the issue or not.

Therefore, disable this feature and then check if it fixes the issue of pressing the Command or Arrow key crashes macOS Ventura running on an unsupported Mac.
FIX 2: Disable SIP
