still you might want to try to use a linux distribution. two years or more advanced than ubuntu 18 "bionic beaver."
indeed, i have received choppy sound from mx linux. i have a "bookworm" based example. with "fluxbox desktop." (not sure what 23.something it was. i downloaded the iso a couple of months ago.) i was forced to uninstall pipewire completely. in favor of pulseaudio. in order to use a windows-only application through wine. for music creation. however it doesn't do away with all the clicks in the audio. but it is acceptable to me. there was no need to do that with mx linux with kde plasma.
i wish i could tell you about persistence. but you could install the latest qb64 phoenix on mx linux or ubuntu. or some other linux distribution that could retain configuration. and other settings between live log-in sessions.
what you described doing. is fine if you only want to run programs created with microsoft quickbasic. and earlier versions of qb64. but you will have problems. trying to use some newer features. such as changing the waveform for play command. or if you want to play an ancient tracker module. in a game that you are creating.
also when qb64 phoenix changes the release to 4.3. or version like 5.0. and you decide you need something from there. you will have to do your trick again. compiling away from your chromebook and then patching it back. which could get tiresome.
anyway i don't know anything about chromebook experience.
