However, the ambient light sensor is really sensitive. My brightness keeps changing a bit, like, 2 times per second even if nothing is happening (for example the screen gets darker every time I start typing on the keyboard because my hands cast shadow on the sensor). Is there a way to disable this?
If nothing consumes the data from the sensor, then it won't be read. Disabling "Automatic Brightness" functionality in GNOME should do that, for example.
So, as the title suggests, iio-sensor-proxy works flawlessly for me on the Lenovo Yoga 720-15IKB running Manjaro Budgie on the 5.0.5-1 kernel.
