Not understanding. At what point in the boot process should I be doing that

... as soon as you see the boot animation.  When you see the grey screen, use Alt+d on the keyboard to switch to the text output. There, you will typically see text that describes why the boot process isn't completing.

and why would I need to do that at all?

Because long ago the debugging text was deemed confusing, and a graphical wallpaper was placed over it.

Seems like it's something wrong
with the Plymouth and plymouth-scirpt packages.

That's unlikely.  Those packages are probably just hiding the actual problem.
