Also in the next beta your original case without modifications will work better - I have some tuneups that help cases where things may be hanging out over the edge by a teeny tiny amount.

In the first v3 beta it can go kind of crazy if something is crossing over the base surface edge by a very small amount.

That's probably what is happening currently - if it ever finished calculating you probably would see a strange huge spike coming off of the bottom pole of the sphere. But that should not happen any more with the next beta.

It's still a good idea to try and avoid making things that squish an entire face down to a single point though.
