Your issue in particular is likely unrelated - it's an issue in userspace.
The bisected commit is the one that allowed xf86-video-amdgpu to start scanning
out DCC compressed buffers that mesa produces, with the caveat that mesa needs
a hook on present for the re-tile. My guess is that hook isn't running when you
aren't using "compositing".
I'm not sure if mesa or xf86-video-amdgpu have options yet to disable DCC or
not, but for that particular setup you'd probably want it disabled.
