Yes, you could install that package as it is in the AUR, however you will need to install the linux-lts and linux-lts-headers packages.

I’m only on my cell and have limited time to review your logs or make further suggestions ATM. Good luck, and do some searching on if you are unsure of any of what I’ve stated.
