Added TearFree, DRI3 and glamor to try to remedy the symptom, nothing changed:
cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "TearFree" "on"
    Option "DRI" "3"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection


Xorg log attached. Some device busy errors seen at the bottom, not sure if it
has any relation.

Nothing really interesting in dmesg.

Symptop appears even at single monitor, however, my current setup is triple
external plus native hidpi:
xrandr --fbmm 11520x4200 --output eDP --pos 4320x2400 --mode 2880x1800 --scale
1x1 --primary --output DisplayPort-1 --pos 0x0 --mode 1920x1200 --scale 2x2
--output DisplayPort-0 --pos 3840x0 --mode 1920x1200 --scale 2x2 --output
HDMI-0 --pos 7680x0 --mode 1920x1200 --scale 2x2
