Have you tried the default Xorg video driver (modesetting, integral to the server; removing the AMD/ATI drivers is the simplest way to enable)?
I haven't done anything yet, and I am not sure I know how. Are you saying the easiest way is to remove some packages? I'll have to figure out which ones. Or use modesetting? By way of a kernel parameter at boot?
Remove xf86-video-ati and modesetting should automatically be used, as your inxi output indicates in use radeon, which xf86-video-ati provides. The other possibility would have been xf86-video-amdgpu. All this will do is give an opportunity to test if an alternative driver makes the crashing stop. I'm not suggesting the driver in use is the actual problem, only that it might be. Does the crashing stop if you boot a 4.15 kernel, or do you no longer have one to try? I have 4.15.13-2.4 if you want to try. I normally don't let .0 or .1 kernels install on mine.
