I've had 5 Android devices and only 1 (one) of them was "unstable". And that wasn't Google or Androids fault... it was the device manufacturer.

Your mistake is blaming the OS for problems that are not it's fault.

This tablet is stuck as exactly what it is - it can't be fixed
There aren't any customized ROMs available for it? Like Cyanogen?

That has actually improved quite a bit in the last year or two. It is still no Google Play Store, but it doesn't feel quite like a barren desert anymore either.
