It doesn't matter if it's installed by default, you need to specifically configure X to use it. The default is modesetting_drv.so.

I found the same problem + a solution here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/f7itw4/plasma_flickering_neonkubuntu/ It turns out that even though I do have Intel chip (IGP on Core i7-9775H) using the Intel driver i915, the package xserver-xorg-video- intel doesn't seem to be required and does cause screen flickering. Removing this package as suggested on reddit fixes the flickering issue for me and so far I didn't seen any negative side effects - all 3D rendering still works. Either xorg-video-intel package should be solved to not cause flickering (and have effects where it is not needed) or it shouldn't be installed by default.
