You could go into Settings - Options - GDAL - Vector Drivers and disable the filegdb driver whenever you're not actively editing a gdb file. I.e. use the stable, optimised openfilegdb driver most of the time and only switch to the filegdb driver when you have a specific need to use it. The GDAL driver page for the FileGDB driver lists a whole lot of known issues with that driver, which can't be addressed by anyone except for ESRI (as they come from the underlying ESRI SDK). I don't see any likelihood that this driver can/will be improved in the future. In the long term, there's two reasonable solutions for this setup that I see: 1. With the improved Geopackage compatibility that recent ArcGIS Pro versions bring you may have luck in moving your arcgis workflows away from gdb files and to gpkg, which of course work great in QGIS and other non-esri applications. 2. If funding is available, there's a good chance that edit support can be added to the open source openfilegdb GDAL driver. While this hasn't yet been tested, the gdb format is sufficiently reverse engineered and understood well enough to make this a good possibility.
