The only steps I've performed from your list to fix the issue are:
rm --recursive ~/.cache/compizconfig-1
rm --recursive ~/.Xauthority
dconf reset -f /org/compiz
setsid unity
I don't think there is a need to remove ~/.config/autostart directory

Title:
Ubuntu 16.04 - Unity desktop session broken when using non-LightDM as
X Display Manager
To manage
I had all things done, lightdm installed, removed dotfiles, but didn't
work. If I run lightdm as root, it starts and allows me to login.
Only the following command fixes it, which sets the lightdm as the
default display manager. But I wanted to used sddm instead, because it
works better with my
Megathanks to Nathan Adams for post #14 on this page. My Unity desktop
had been functioning perfectly since upgrading to 16.04 nearly 10 months
ago, but it suddenly broke yesterday for no reason I can fathom. (Last
system action I had performed was to enable the system firewall - ufw.)
I tried
I am also unhappy to confirm this problem but happy to find that this is
a corroborated bug. As the OP reports, "gdm3" hangs the system before
the Unity desktop comes up, and trying to use "sddm" starts an X session
without any window management.

I am not entirely sure what corrected the problem, but here are all of
the steps I performed:
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service
sudo reboot
rm -rf .cache/compizconfig-1
rm -rf .compiz
rm -rf .Xauthority
rm -rf .config/autostart
Alejandro's instructions did not restore Unity for me.
But to make the process easier for those that want to try, here they are
in an easy to copy & paste format:
sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service
sudo reboot
