Doesn't it bother you that you're using circuits that I had, at very
least, a hand in designing ?:-)

Which, of my many brands, are you suing ?:-)

Maybe you're "suing", but I meant "using" :-)

The values in that data sheet are for a 32Khz tuning fork cut crystal. Not
the same at all as the 2.048 Mhz AT cut crystals in the op.

I'd try something like 22pf for the caps, 1-10 Meg for the DC feedback
resistor, and 47-100K for the drive limiter resistor.

As a quick guess, perhaps a thermal/power pad?

Cost? Silicon oscillators are around a buck fifty while these are less
than a buck:
