If non of the above methods and solutions did not respond, it is a good idea, that you have to switch to a third party. Among all the other keyboards, I recommend you to use the Gborad, which is an excellent Keyboard from Google. You can get this application from the play store, and configure it as your main keyboard.
One of the features that I totally like about the Gboard is the ability to voice search using the Keyboard. I am not talking about google assistant or Bixby, I am talking about the voice feature built inside the Keyboard. In fact most of the time I am typing posts on the website, using the voice feature.
Conclusion:
If The Samsung Keyboard Keeps Stopping, then you should reset the keyboard, restart your phone, clear cache, boot into safe mode and check the issue. If nothing is fixed, it is better to use Gboard.
