amdgpu page fault playing modded Minecraft 1.21 (zen kernel 6.9.8)

Recently, after upgrading to linux-zen 6.9.8 from the Arch repos I've been experiencing page fault errors in the AMDGPU kernel module while playing modded Minecraft 1.21.

I have an AMD RX 6700 XT & while playing the new Minecraft 1.21 update (Sodium & Iris mods installed) I've been experiencing the kernel seemingly locking up and forcing me to hard reset the system. There were also upgrade to Mesa during this time period, too, so I am unsure where the source of the problem lies. The driver faulting has happened twice after the upgrade to 6.9.8, whereas on 6.9.7 I had not experienced the issue once. Again, I am unsure if it was due to the Mesa upgrade.

I am unsure whether this is an application issue, Mesa issue or AMDGPU kernel module issue. While, according to the logs, the driver does manage to recover - it also seems to entirely crash the Wayland compositor (KWin) and CTRL+ALT+Function keys do nothing to help me switch to a TTY, thereby the system is essentially dead once its not responding to input & has no video out. That is of course an issue with KWin being unable to recover itself.
I've attached potentially relevant information below. Any help or insight is much appreciated!

Do you also get the same errors with the regular linux image?

I'm running zen kernel 6.9.7 right now after downgrading back to it and am without issue for now. I'll switch to the standard linux package kernel now and make note of if the issue occurs with that. Annoyingly, I don't think the issue is directly reproducible as far as I can tell right now, but will give it a go & see what happens.
