Issues with Nouveau/Tmux?

I have an Asus ZenBook Pro, which I have been running on Arch linux since I purchased it about 8 months ago. Everything was great, it was perfect for my daily workflow. However, I have recently started having system crash/hangs that I am having trouble diagnosing. They typically occur when resuming from sleep/hibernate, and the basic pattern is that the system hangs with a black screen, with just an unresponsive cursor. After 30 seconds or so, the GUI fails altogether, dumping me back at TTY. This is annoying, but normally fine; I just restart my WM (Sway). However, if tmux was running when this occurs, my TTY is garbage. Input is erratic, and I am unable to do anything with that TTY. The only solutions to recover from that state that I have found are to either forcibly power of the laptop, or switch to TTY2, login, and run sudo killall login, then login again. My journal is full of logs related to Nouveau, but I am no expert at deciphering logs. If any one can shed some light on where to start the diagnosis, I would be very grateful!!

Logs are here. I will post a full log as soon as I get a chance; I was having issues finding a pastebin that didn't balk at the size: http://sprunge.us/LRaOz7

Further details that may or may not be relevant. This machine is setup to dual boot Arch and Win 10, as I occasionally need Win for work. These issues started after a business event where a coworker was using my machine to run powerpoint presentations. I was otherwise occupied that day, so I don't know what all was done with my machine, but it was booted into Win 10 the whole time that it was out of my possession. I have already tried reinstalling some seemingly relevant packages, made sure everything was up to date, and tried checking for any windows or firmware updates to see if any of that would resolve the issue.

Clearly crashes in nouveau.
3rd link below - no idea whether that's the cause, but because of the circumstances.

Thanks for that. Although it didn't help, it was good info for me to review again. I am suspicious that this might somehow be Electron related. The basis for that suspicion is that searching various lines form the stack trace universally takes me to bug reports for various programs which all rely on Electron, and all of which say that the issue is related to Electron. Further, this does not seem like a config change, because I wiped and reinstalled Arch, and the problem persists. I guess I will continue to deal with it for awhile, and see if any updates fix anything, unless I get the time and inspiration to dive really deeply into diag/troubleshooting to isolate what to file a bug report on.

Is the nvidia blob an option?
