Yes.  I was wrong about your environment (see above).

But really, I can honestly say I have _never_ seen Emacs crash.  A few
times it went into an infinite spin because a package did something
dirty, mostly involving an external process.  But crash, never.

So you may in fact want emacs --daemon.  On my server type machines
where this is applicable, I do it with a personal crontab entry marked
@boot.
