For me single user mode would stop docker starting, and thus avoid the crash. But if you don't have serial console, how would you then get a shell to then fix the machine?
For single user mode, find the first menuentry in grub.cfg and add single after ro
i.e change
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.13.0-1030-gcp root=PARTUUID=3c480693-932a-4c3c-8409-1bc45cd64f32 ro console=ttyS0
to
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.13.0-1030-gcp root=PARTUUID=3c480693-932a-4c3c-8409-1bc45cd64f32 ro single console=ttyS0
