Can't seem to get a perfect silent boot.

I've tried everything in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Silent_boot and I can't get silent boot to work. I think I've thrown everything into cmdline.

Whenever I log in with ly, shut down, or sign out my computer, I see a little blinking cursor on a black screen and am reminded of my failures.

I would greatly appreciate the help, thank you.

Is that little blinking cursor shown at left top of the screen ?
If so that comes from the firmware of your system, not linux .

Most of the time its visible when the screen output is active but the screen hasn't received any input yet.
Switching screen modes can also cause this .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
