Public bug reported: So posted this on several forums in Linux Mint 19.3 and XFCE. Seems like the major difference is AMD base driver changes from 5.0.0-37 to 5.3 <- thus far any version causes severe pixelation for every new window rendering Linux Mint XFCE unusable unless the Windows Display Compositor is disabled. The hardware is an AMD Ryzen 5-3500U with 8 GB RAM. 5.0.0-37 runs fine, and I installed Ubuntu Gnome desktop which also seems to work (though not as snappy as the original XFCE). I wanted to highlight and also understand if Xubuntu might face a similar issue with that APU come the 20.04 update or if there is a fix that hasn't made it to the Linux Mint distribution.
