MacOS 10.15.1 vanilla install - apfs module start 1683 *Frustration*

Hey, after days of following multiple suggestions, posts and guides i still can't get past the "apfs_module_start:1683" error on the first 'USB installer' boot.

Mob: ASUS VIII Impact Z170 | CPU: Intel Skylake i7 6700k | GPU: Asus RX 5700

Bootloader: Clover Bootloader 2.5 r5098

Latest KEXTS: Lilu 1.3.9, AppleALC 1.4.3, Whatevergreen 1.3.4, FakeSMC (also tried VirtualSMC)

DRIVERS: apfsDriverLoader.efi, AptioMemoryFix.efi, VBoxHfs.efi

Config.plist: https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide/blob/master/Configs/Skylake/config.plist (using this without changes)

My problem is clearly related to the ACPI / EC setup as described here: https://github.com/khronokernel/What-s-new-in-macOS-Catalina/blob/master/README.md#current-issues-with-catalina but to my understanding the solutions there apply to existing installations that are trying to update to Catalina and not brand new clean installations.

Any idea of what do i need to change in my 10.15.1 USB installer in order to get past the 1683 error? Thank you in advance!
