Did we ever get a definitive answer on why his lightsaber has a crossguard?
He made it himself and he's a total edgelord with no regard for practicality.
Yeah, they're vents because his kyber crystal is cracked and unstable.
To burn your shoulders should you find a lightsaber and attempt to duel him

So that it was made obvious that the director thinks Chirstians are evil.
It was to highlight his edgyness

Also it's an ancient design from the NuCanon's version of the Old Republic era.
we'll get more of hispast in the next one
Basically it's an extension of his character: highly unstable, crude, amateur build, very powerful
Vents are because the crystal is cracked, therefore unstable

Knights of Ren was an ancient order or whatever, force users but not Jedi or Sith, something else not strictly good or evil.
Ben and other edgelords in Luke's class had found out about this order and decided to bring it back. Hence Ben changing his name to Kylo Ren and him wearing a medieval looking cape and a different, old timey lightsaber. Note that his force skills are also a bit different from what we know (stopping the laser mid air, mind reading) even though he's not particularly powerful -- these are old tricks of the Knights of Ren which he has found out about.
This is all my speculation btw obv.

Looks like I hit a nerve

To push the whole knight theme, since knights often used broadswords with prominent crossguards to express their Christian faith and gain additional hand protection.
