Thanks Josh.
I *think* that there are two issues you are facing:
1. The nouveau kernel driver doesn't support your Nvidia GPU properly,
which is why "I have to boot with `nouveau.modeset=0`, otherwise boot
hangs at Plymouth after entering my disk encryption password.". But that
doesn't matter too much here since the desktop will be rendered using
the Intel GPU instead.
2. i3wm doesn't seem to be using compositing, so tearing and flickering
is expected. Maybe you can configure i3wm to enable compositing, or
maybe it doesn't support it at all. Either way that is a problem with
i3wm only.
Only #2 is the real problem here. If you would like to avoid tearing
then I suggest you will need to use a different window manager or
desktop environment. Not i3wm.
