Should I increase the difficulty, and is Turn-Based mode worth sticking with?

This is my first time playing Pillars of Eternity 1. I started the game about a week ago on Hard difficulty, Expert mode, and Turn-Based mode. At first, I struggled quite a bit, but now the game feels pretty easy. The last thing I did was clear Level 5 of Caed Nua.

I also had a bug recently where the game suddenly crashed. Luckily, I hadn't made much progress, so I didn't lose too much. From what I've read, this crash seems to be related to Turn-Based mode.

So my questions are:

Should I increase the difficulty, or is the next difficulty level too hard? Also, should I stick with Turn-Based mode, or is Real-Time with Pause better for a first playthrough?

And finally, are there any mods you would recommend to improve the game?
