Ok. So it's more about something with the whole device stack. I have no clue
here so help from the systemd/loginctl/dbus folks will likely be needed.

Since it wasn't clear: I'm not adding lightdm user to the render group, that
should be done dynamically. I have no idea how to make that happens similarly
to more interactive users (for which it works just fine) so any pointer
appreciated.
