First, sorry if I have forgotten about things early in the thread.

Have you examined xorg.0.log to confirm which driver is actually running?
Do you have multimedia/libva-intel-driver installed? If so, is HYBRID
enabled in the configuration? I had hangs with it in the past, but it's
been working for over two days now with a recent 12.0-STABLE (r342382),
mesa-18.3.1 and modesetting. Also, I run with SCHED_4SD, not the default
SCHED_ULE scheduler.

Are you running SNA or EXA? xorg.0.log might provide some useful
information.
