3 years ago I see. This looks like the pretty much the same artefacts as what was reported in https://github.com/dccsillag/picom/issues/18; however, for you, that happens on both the xrender and the glx backend.
Right now I have no idea why this happens. But it's good to know that it's not really particular to xrender, it's just that, for some reason, my glx is different and probably redraws everything all the time, even when it's not needed.
