What a cool project, would be interested to hear how it works for folks IRL.

I've played it for some 30 hours together with my much younger brother-in-law at the beginning of the pandemic, and despite (and sometimes even because of) the glitches involved, we had a great time.

I think it would be a mistake to go in and expect (or demand) a perfectly polished experience. That they even managed to retrofit a multiplayer mode onto a strictly single player game is a completely mind-blowing achievement in my book - esp. given how well it works, all things considered.

Considering how buggy skyrim is in general, I suspect people won't have high expectations for the mod either.

The original was buggy, if you stay with some well tested modpacks you won’t see a crash to desktop or anything like it.

Just as a note to other readers, this mod in particular "Reborn" is a completely different beast from the one you may have played back in 2020. The team from Tilted Phoques disbanded and reformed a few times, specially after some big controversies with SKSE that have been cited by other commenters.

This version "Reborn" is a complete rewrite of "Skyrim Together" which was available then shortly abandoned back in 2019/2020.

The team here has done a mind-blowing job, and this release in particular is extremely stable for what turning a singleplayer game into a multiplayer game is!
