Details

been using rockbox for years, but recently m4a playback has become more frequent as i encode more with it.

-long mixes e.g. 1hr dont load well (long wait times with the DB switched off)
-dont resume at all, sometimes. system crash if system restart and resumes playback in said mixes.
-Somewhere between 1 and two hours long or greater length continuous mixes in m4a simply don't load at all.

-bookmarks or resumed playback in extremely low bitrate files e.g. 40kbps doesn't resume correctly or at all in those files.

For reference, I use winamps 'format converter' plugin --> MP4/LC-AAC

can document more if need be.
This task depends upon

These are more or less known issues with the AAC codec and MP4 parser. The best solution is just to use a different codec. This problem has been around for a long time, and isn't likely to be an easy fix even if someone starts working on it.
