Everyone has that error. It's there since forever ago and is yet to be addressed. Doesn't seem to break anything so it's harmless. Btw, VYM is part of the CMI difference module
Press F1 and see if vanilla cache is also enabled for ShortMenuLoader. It is disabled by default so I altered the config to enable it. This way we have a larger number of users to test the features and report errors to the dev. If the plugin is proven to be error free, it will be enabled by default in the upcoming CMI release. It is good that it is tested with a large volume of mods and the complete repack. If the game freezes because of cache plugin post the log and it will be forwarded to the dev. He is the only one who can read the error code. It helps if you describe what you did before it froze.
Vainilla cache was indeed Enabled in the F1 menu. Should i disabled and test? Im yet to find some kind of error or crash. I only use the mods provide by the modpack.
Is it safe to update the game now to 1.57? Will plugins and mods break if we update?
Only if you want to play on a vainilla game. The update absolute destroys almost all plugins. Here is an on going list of plugins that crash/freeze the game provided by a user on the Discord server:

Meido Photo Studio (MPS)
OutfitMatchHelper
ScriptLoader:
TexturePlaceHolder

AutoConverter
DistortCorrect
ExternalPreset (need to check that more)
FaceTypePatcher
MaidVoicePitch (minor error)

UnityInjector:
AddModsSlider (requires more testing)
AddYotogiSliderSE
AlwaysColorChangerEx (AccEx)

Concerning ReiPatcherLess plugins:
Consider the entire collection unusable, as ExternalPreset prevent to load any presets.
AddModsSlider doesn't quite work
and MaidVoicePitch gives error at startup
Edited .nei in your Mod folder can break things too
