SUMMARY
I've already reported this bug on SDDM github months ago but it never got an
answer (https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/2123), and since Plasma Login
Manager is a fork of SDDM I thought it could be affected by the same nasty bug,
which it is.
I'm on Arch Linux with the latest nvidia drivers 590.48.01 and I've installed
Plasma Login Manager from the AUR and followed the instructions on the official
gitlab page to enable it (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-login-manager).
Also I want to specify that this issue doesn't happen with GDM, and it didn't
happen with SDDM running on x11, it only happened with SDDM running on Wayland.
So basically I have two monitors, and the second monitor becomes a flickery
mess most of the times after I log in from Plasma Login Manager, while the
first monitor is normal, and the heavy flickering also appears on the login
session itself, not just after logging in, I've attached a picture of how it
looks on my second monitor.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login from Plasma Login Manager
OBSERVED RESULT
Heavy flickering on the second monitor
EXPECTED RESULT
No flickering on the second monitor.
