First of all, /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service is not a file, but a
symbolic link. 

I don't know exactly what you mean by "neither of which would boot correctly".  Are
you getting a login display?   From looking at the sddm log it would seem you are
getting a login display and are trying to login.

This line suggests this....

Jan 25 19:50:19 Vostok sddm-helper[1937]: Starting: "/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession \"env
GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic gnome-session --session gnome-classic\""

But, if you have removed all the GNOME bits it won't be able to start a GNOME session
and would explain your getting a blank screen at that point.

Check to see if you have a /var/lib/sddm/state.conf file.  If so, what are the contents.
