The newest update version 98.0.4759.39 doesn't exhibit the mic-crash problem, at least for Whatsapp sidebar it doesn't.

Opera for computersRE: opera crashes when I try to send voice notes on whatsapp
I encountered the same issues on my Windows 10. Then I downgraded my opera browser to an earlier version and Opera stops crashing whenever i try to record a voice note with Whatsapp running from the sidebar.
You can download the previous version of Opera browser from https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/
The more recent version that I tried which still works is 97.0.4719.63. Not sure if some of the later versions after 97.0.4719.63 also works as I didn't try yet.
But you will get Opera trying to update to the latest version every now and then. So you need to go to Task Scheduler (type in the windows search bar "Task Scheduler") and look for Opera Scheduled Assistant Autoupdate, right click it and click on "Disable"
.
This might not disable it permanently so may need to read up on how to prevent it from updating again from time time. Maybe some of the Pros can elaborate how to prevent the auto-updating from running in Task Scheduler.
