Thanks for contacting us in this tough situation. Not knowing the details
about the crashes you experience, they could be related to the fact, that
the code in Alkimia was written for KDE4 not KF5 and I am not sure how much
of KF5 is already supported.

Let's figure out what is causing these crashes. Since they are reproducible
they should also be fixable. Do you have the (crashing) codebase in your repo
(maybe on a special branch) so that we can take a look at it? If not, can you
provide more details (backtraces) about the crashes?

I suggest you continue to resolve the crashes. If you have enough of it, you
may take a look into the update functionality. One of the things you can do
is to contact the kmymoney-devel list and ask people for samples of their 
kmymoneyrc file. 

I start with one of the entries I use here:
