It looks a lot like the chlorosis and leaf-drying/crisping that is caused by Verticillium wilt, although it does look a bit different than what I'm used to. It might be another species of Verticillium than I'm used to. Or it could be Fusarium.

Fungicides aren't supposed to be effective on it, but regular fertilization can help improve the health of the plant and its lifespan. It's said to be incurable, soil-borne, etc. It causes dehydration symptoms. Foliar fertilizer sprays can be helpful, since the disease inhibits transport of water/nutrients from roots. It causes blotchy yellow chlorosis on parts of leaf edges. It can cause V-shaped chlorotic and/or crispy lesions on some leaves, a lot like in your first picture.

Note that resistant plants can still potentially get it, and some plants are only resistant to one species of it.

It's very hard to eliminate it altogether from a garden once it's there, but you can try solarizing soil, making sure there's no infected debris, no perennial host plants, etc. No infected weeds. Don't buy new plants with blotchy yellow chlorosis.

Some of the tomatoes you mentioned are resistant.
