Based on further testing, something that can happen while with a companion during planet surveying seems to potentially trigger the bug, quest or no quest.
So the companion is relevant, the quests are not.

Thanks for your work! Mind DM’ing me the name of the quest? My current playthrough involves a lot of ship fights and boarding enemy ships, so I’d hate to fall victim to the bug and may skip the quest altogether.

Oh, I Just was saying that surveying planets in general while you have an active companion can risk triggering the bug (maybe it even is triggered by actual combat with miscellaneous alien critters, can’t confirm that, though).
The quests related to surveying planets or critters are fine, as long as you don’t bring a companion.
However, if you want to try the quests I’ve used for this testing, both are radiant/miscellaneous quests you can get after completion of the Vanguard questline.
I tested boarding using a quest you can get by talking to Commander Tuala in New Atlantis.
The objective that gives you the gene-sampling quest involves talking to a guy named “Perceval” (you’ll know him when you go through that questline)
