Pretty much that, but also might start feeling fenerally stuttery — not sure how much that is anything other than a side effect of flickering.
Is there just no way to use the G-Sync support option properly on an NVIDIA GPU? The flickering is just as bad no matter the options, and it's not even tied to FG — it will flicker just the same if just using scaling.

I remember last time having an issue similar to this — turning on LS made GPU usage drop hard. Back then, it was because of low latency mode turned on in Nvidia control panel; now though it wasn't turned on in the first place, and even setting on/ultra doesn't change anything either. Also this flickering persists even when the GPU does actually reach 100 percent usage.
And the flickering persists with initially low GPU usage with a capped in-game framerate, yes. Even if it is a very low cap. No difference to uncapped — not any better.

I have fixed it, eventually. Can freely enable G-Sync support, G-Sync actually works, no flickering, and doesn't stutter
But I really do not know what exactly that I've done did it
I am running specifically 581.94 drivers installed through nvcleanstall with nothing but the driver and control panel
I did also use OverlayTestMode = 4 trick, maybe helps
definitely not turning off HAGS, lsfg clearly performs worse without it
just default settings for LS in NVCP, except layered over dxgi y'know
did also turn on MSI mode without High priority
