This seems to be fixed with amd-staging-drm-next-git for Linux 4.17. Clocking looks a bit aggressive, but it seems to be really worth it as every GPU accelerated UI us entirely stutter-free now. Please keep it that way, it still saves enough power when the system is idle! I wished the clocking behavior on Windows was the same, I'd consider behavior on Windows totally broken with partial load (stuttering everywhere).
