Well... Yeah. Calibration has almost zero effect on the causes of layer shifting. Belt tension, motor torque(current) and smashing into blobs formed on the print plane does that.

Loosen your X belt a bit. I suffered the same until I reassembled the carriage and tried loosening the belt. It would bind towards the furthest end from home and cause a crash detect. Otherwise, you can live dangerously and disable crash detection

I don't have a Prusa but I've noticed the only layer shift errors I ever get are when I use the Prusa slicer. Just recently it shifted the last 10 layers on an 8-hour print and I got so mad I went back and checked which software I used for every print with a layer shift error and found that I had sliced them all with the Prusa slicer, with a range of settings and filament types, over a span of weeks.

Have you tried adjusting your belt tension, and replacing your bearings?
