Disabling the uplay overlay gave me an enormous FPS boost. When you launch the game, a system tray icon opens as another window. In order to access the uplay settngs, right click the uplay/ubisoft connect system tray icon in that tiny window and select "settings" then disable the overlay.
The improvement for me was greater than could be achieved by slamming all of the graphics settings to low. It now runs well on ultra without FSR
Note that the fps would report high, but feel very low, sub 45 fps, which is unplayable for me, and it would be worse without FSR.

Cloud saves seem not reliable but I didn't notice an actual problem.
The FPS reported high but did not actually push that many frames to the monitor Fixed by turning off the uplay overlay, NOT disabling the notifications.
If you're not as sensitive to low framerates as I am, this probably doesn't affect you. (sub 45 on a 6700xt)
NOTE: I am currently using OpenSUSE, not manjaro, but the principle is probably the same if not easier for manjaro users.
Stuttering early into the session
Game did not start (stuck at insurgency banner strip) until I unchecked "enable shader pre-caching" in steam->settings->shader pre-caching
