I think the "rapid change in memory frequency" really is the problem:
When I 
 echo manual > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
and then 
 echo "0" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or
  echo "1" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or
  echo "2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
there is no more flickering. 
(This limits the memory clock to 300Mhz, 1000 or 2000Mhz on my RX580 card.
Using Arch Linux kernel 4.18.16 by the way.)

Whereas 
or
  echo "0 1 2" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk
or any combination of 2 memory clock frequencies brings flickering back.
