Running the latest stock mutter from extra with only the following diffs from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/171 with (from what I can tell so far), decent results.

# Put the following line in prepare() right above NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
patch -Np1 -F3 -i ../Sync-to-the-hardware-refresh-rate.patch
