I've moved on since my original post. I now seem to have something usable with some workarounds.
My host is using the 4.4.240 kernel using Version 6.1.19 r142995 (Qt5.6.1)
On the guests I'm using the 5.10.25 kernel with VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.19-142994.iso
Moving in the right direction the only two outstanding problems I have are
Without guest additions when i drop down to level 3 I get extra line feeds after most commands i.e ps -ef will always give me a extra 6 or so blank lines. Other commands the output just scrolls off the top of the screen. Bit like if i held the Enter/Caraige Return keys for too long.
I couldn't execute scripts from shared folders got this error
-su: /usr/local/aikbin/build_packages.ksh: cannot execute [Invalid argument]
This was resolved by using a different Graphics Controller. I've settled on VMSVGA.
Interestingly I was getting Segmentation errors when using one of the Graphic Controllers, but only if using GuestAdditions. It was fine with one of the other Graphic Controllers.
At the moment I'm a bit confused as to what's going on other than having got workarounds for most of the problems.
I need to do another round of testing with the latest test builds. I notice that 143492/143491 are now available. I'm sure that 6.1.19 is just around the corner.

Replying to AlexKemp:
The issue with shared folders should be fixed in 6.1.22. Could you please give it a try?
Contains details of the segmenation fault
