Thanks to a tip from tom stellard I tried it without X (after exiting sddm).

I've tried to start the miner with "real work" from a pool as recommended:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100 GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ./ethminer --farm-recheck 200 -G -S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 etc. etc.

I get gpu faults, but no hangs or other issues and the system is usable normally after exiting the miner.

The -G --benchmark mode still has worse troubles with hangs etc.
