Consider at this point giving the non-ancient default FOSS DDX driver a try. With neither proprietary drivers nor xf86-video-nouveau installed, and with no nouveau blacklisting or tainted libraries, it should be used automatically. As a result, Plymouth should work as expected, and you might see something resembling this:
