For other users facing this issue - as the main problem is related to the Electron and createDiffieHellman then you can disable/remove "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256" algorithm as specified in Wiki - SFTP only Config.

In other words, you need to edit sftp.json file and specify following algorithms as supported for each SFTP profile:

"algorithms": {
    "kex": [
        "ecdh-sha2-nistp256",
        "ecdh-sha2-nistp384",
        "ecdh-sha2-nistp521",
        "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1"
    ],
    "cipher": [
        "aes128-ctr",
        "aes192-ctr",
        "aes256-ctr",
        "aes128-gcm",
        "aes128-gcm@openssh.com",
        "aes256-gcm",
        "aes256-gcm@openssh.com"
    ],
    "serverHostKey": [
        "ssh-rsa",
        "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256",
        "ecdsa-sha2-nistp384",
        "ecdsa-sha2-nistp521"
    ],
    "hmac": [
        "hmac-sha2-256",
        "hmac-sha2-512",
        "hmac-sha1"
    ]
}

^ As you can see "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256" is not specified. After doing this everything works fine with 1.53.x versions. Not really the best solution but still.
