Can you try with
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland
See if that changes anything?
Hmm looking on the internet this seems a very common issue with not a lot of great solutions save for frustrated people going back to x11. Electron applications do not redraw properly to reflect latest input (reuse old frames) · Issue #187 · NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules · GitHub

While amd is certainly better compatible I would still first search for the specific card you are buying and see if all it’s drivers are there or not.
Btw, you can also try to switch back to x11 from your sddm screen there should be a small drop down there just below password field which should let you choose between x11 and wayland.
Choose x11 and try launching apps without the flags (since x11 doesn’t need them).

Wow, works fine on X11!
Thanks for answering my question!
