So I was thinking about your plane nose diving problem and in aero design rear swept wings act like they have dyhedral, so inversely forward swept wings will act like they have anhedral(this could be wrong, cant find my source on this so ignore this part of my comment), so you adding in anhedral is effectively doubling the anhedral.
To get it to be more stable you would need to lower the cg to below the roll wing plane. Like hanging a pendulum below the aircraft
As for the nose diving issue. Vectoring the thrust up(pushing the nose up) would help.
I'm going to find a video and link it here in a minute of a star wars plane with anhedral wings, pay attention to how low he had to mount the battery to get it to be stable. And how far back its tilted in normal flight. Almost like a nutball. he explains at 3:30 how low the battery needed to be and that he needed extra ballast on the low wing tips
Hope this can help you iron out some of the flight characteristics you're seeing.
