Plymouth falls back to text-mode half the time

I'm running the proprietary nvidia driver and I've installed the plymouth package from the AUR, setting it up according to the wiki. When it works, it works as expected, displaying and animating the configured theme and all. However, about half the time it doesn't and it falls back to text-mode (three blinking dots). I know that plymouth relies upon KMS so I assume it's a race condition of sorts. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about diagnosing this kind of issue.

My configuration:

/etc/default/grub
-----------------
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=0 quiet splash loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 usbcore.quirks=1b1c:1b15:gn nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=/dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_swap"
---snip---
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1200x32,auto
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
---snip---
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
--------------------
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
---snip---
HOOKS=(base udev plymouth autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems resume keyboard fsck)
---snip---

Bonus question: Even with "ShowDelay=0" in /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf it takes a long time for the splash screen to come up (~ 12 seconds after GRUB). Is there anything that can be done about this?
