Recently i got uprising on GoG, but the release that Ziggurat gave is the 3dfx release that lacks tons of stuff like skyboxes and glowing dynamic light effects, which fortunately i have the Sotware/ddraw EXE
but unlike the 3dfx exe, software mode keeps crashing after a few minutes of gameplay

has anyone tried to dabble with it to see if its possible to work without any issues?

Yes with dgvoodoo2, software version has issues, and voodoo sometimes hangs after finishing a mission.
I reported this issue to dege.
plus videos still have lines, and i remember it was possible to deactivate that interlace scanline look with a command line.

Since I don't own the GOG release and kind find a suitable place to fetch it "for testing", at least with the CD release, I don't see the game crashing. The CD game wouldn't start normally, so I just attached DxWnd and that was it. There is a chance that there is a ddraw wrapper in the folder, you might try deleting it and trying.

Both steam and GoG releases are the same, they come "patched" with the 3dfx exe running as Uprising.exe
i think this is mostly a memory issue with the sofware renderer exe

I didn't install the 3Dfx mode so the "uprising.exe" I have is software based. Without the gog or steam game, I can't do much, maybe the gog execuable you have can help.
