There are additional tools that you can use - add zypper lock to not install the broken version, disable the purge-kernels service to keep all kernels until your disk fills with them.
Thanks for that info, however, I might not become aware that an issue exists until AFTER then newer kernel is installed and I don't think locking kernel-default would be a good idea.
Why? # zypper ll | grep kern 25 | kernel-az* | package | (any) | 26 | kernel-de* | package | (any) | 27 | kernel-kv* | package | (any) | 28 | kernel-pree* | package | (any) | 29 | kernel-rt* | package | (any) | 30 | kernel-sy* | package | (any) | # All my Leap installations have the above. My TWs only lock kernel-de*. This general practice is well over a decade old. I decide when is the right time another kernel is appropriate to install. That doesn't happen unless I expect a soon reboot.
I also would not want to add more manual effort to cleanup older kernels that are no longer needed.
