If anyone else has been running into the issue where a completely fresh install of GOG Stardew Valley 1.6 or higher for Mac immediately crashes on launch I've found a solution. It appears to be related to the installer not creating a .config folder in your home directory if you don't already have one, and the Stardew app not being able to create it either because of Mac filesystem sandboxing. Once I went into terminal and used "mkdir .config" to manually create that folder Stardew successfully launched.
