Please be more specific - what do you mean with "several addons"?
Personally I don't use any addons to access 4k content.

I don't have much 4k content here (mainly HD and lower) and in the rare cases when I play that I simply disable hyperion. For netflix I simply use the native app on my TV, that works with 4k and HDR without hassles.
I also don't own a USB HDMI grabber so can't comment on that - better check out the hyperion forum, there are lots of threads about those.

4k playback without hyperion has always been fine.

No news in this area and AFAIK no one is working on it.
As the dispmanx grabber is going to be phased out (it won't work with the new KMS graphics driver which is the current development focus) it's highly unlikely to change and mid-term the Hyperion folks will need to implement a new grabber that's compatible with that - otherwise only USB HDMI grabbers will be the only working alternative.

Same issue as above, delete profiles.xml.
BTW: you are running a really old build, I highly recommend updating to official LE 9.2.1 or a community build which includes kodi 18.6 - that issue should be fixed there.

Better someone else comments on the deinterlacer and scaler methods, I'd guess the motion adaptive one should be fine.
Concerning audio delay see here: Delayed audio problem

I've also read that on-board analog audio output level is quite low - haven't checked myself for ages though.
TBH it's best to stay away from the on-board analog audio out if possible. The quality isn't too great and the RPi has to throw in a lot of processing power (which then missed for video decoding etc) to get a somewhat acceptable quality out of the simple 1-bit dac.

And with regards to Deinterlace method, video scaling method?
I mean "VAAPI Bob" sounds pretty cool, but no idea if it is the right choice
I can't comment on that as I'm using RPi which has different (software only) deinterlacers.
"Bob" may sound cool but actually is a pretty simple / poor deinterlacer (have to use SW bob deinterlace here on RPi4 and deinterlaced SD material looks terrible).
The "yadif" and other deinterlacers (not sure what's actually available on PCs) should work a lot better.

So if i whitelist a resolution the TV handles upscaling and NOT whitelisted than Kodi will do it?
Kodi's whitelisting logic is a bit complex/confusing but, yes, basically it's this way. If you whitelist a display mode / refresh rate then Kodi can use that if "adjust display refresh rate" is enabled in the player settings (set it to "always" or "on start/stop").
So kodi can eg switch to 1080p23.9 if you play a HD movie.

Just stick to 3840x2160 - that's the native resolution of all UHD sets (and usually marked as preferred in EDID).
Run the GUI at 50 or 60Hz and whitelist the 23.98/24/50/59.9/60 Hz modes (better NOT the 25 and 29.9/30Hz modes as that may cause havoc with interlaced content).
As for 1280x720/1920x1080 you have to check yourself if you also whitelist them (and let the TV upscale) or let kodi do the upscaling to 4k.
The LG OLEDs have pretty good scalers so I'm not really sure if kodi is able to do a better job.

The coaxial and optical S/PDIF outputs on your hifiberry card are run in parallel and both carry the same signal.
You can use the audio profile addon to quickly switch between either analog output on your RPi or digital output on your hifiberry.

Keep in mind that you have to use a 48Gbps Ultra High Speed HDMI cable if you want to use the HDMI 2.1 modes (8k or 4k > 60p).
But there's not much point in using more than 60p on a mediacenter, these high refresh rate modes are mainly useful for gamers who want to have 100-120fps in their first person shooters.

Simultaneous audio output to HDMI and HifiBerry isn't supported in Kodi.
Have a look at the Audio Profiles addon Audio Profiles - Easy switch between different audio settings
You can invoke that from a keyboard or remote button (in the latter case use "remote" instead of "keyboard" in the example keymap file from that post and eg "red" and "green" instead of "a" and "c").

Thanks for dmesg, couldn't spot anything unusual except for the warnings you posted.
Can you check if the VIA USB firmware is up to date (in LibreELEC Settings->Update)?
It could be that your drive is acting up or dying, hard to tell though - haven't seen your specific issues yet and 2 WD drives (3.5" MyBook and 2.5" MyPassport) are working fine here on RPi4/USB3.

It's hard to tell anything without full dmesg. Could be undervoltage (that'd be logged in dmesg), could be the USB HDD adapter (model/vendor would be in dmesg) or something else.

The service.tvh.manager addon is the culprit:
2020-04-16 22:03:48.401 T:2700940144 NOTICE: [service.tvh.manager] Service was running w/o user activity

Check the addon settings or just uninstall it, not exactly sure what this addon is useful for.
