Plymouth not showing splash

I've been using Arch for about 1 year now, mostly having a good time. But plymouth doesn't want to play along.

I have an i7 13-700k and a AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. I use GRUB and KDE Plasma.
I tried following the wiki article, but to no success and I don't know why. The debug log of plymouth:

$ cat /var/log/plymouth-debug.log

I have already tried a suggestion from this post with adding

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1

to the kernel parameters.
Switched to the radeon drivers and using kms aswell as trying to delay boot for the animaton with the systemd service (which shlouldn't work afaik, as I don't seem to be using that) and the parameter in the config file.

If anyone has an idea, that would be awesome.
