Lots of apps hang or crash - Zephyrus G15

I've managed to get what seems like a semi-functional install with hardware acceleration going on this laptop:

CPU: R9 5900HS

GPU: RTX 3080 (Obviously not being used) + AMD APU

I'm using nootedred to try and get hardware acceleration working and to some extent it seems to have. The wallpaper works, the general system isn't too slow, system info reports metal support, I can watch video in Safari etc.

However, a lot of apps just straight up won't run: Firefox, Spotify, Jetbrains Toolbox, etc. Crashing soon after launch with little useful in error messages.

Now, this isn't the end of the world for me because I mostly just need a machine I can build flutter apps on and I can do that over SSH but it is annoying as I'd rather have a fully functional laptop.

Any idea of things I can try/look at to start debugging this?

Here's my config.plist: https://gist.github.com/hughesjs/7dcb9054b640bf2cc682272b1794788f
