Sorry for the delay. I've attached the verbose photo below, and removed any drivers not mentioned in the guide.
Also, AppleUISupport doesn't exist; should I use AppleUITheme in the future instead, if I intend to use filevault?

The guide assumes you're using my build of Clover.

Okay, I've recreated it using your build from your bitbucket, though it still gets stuck in similar state.. If only it'd show logs during the whole boot process :/

I've attached screenshots in order; verbose gets to gIO, glitchy bar shows up (blue/red colored border), "fixes" itsef to normal, but ~5% progress, then after a couple minutes the mouse shows up.

As per guide, you might need EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.
You should also use an invalid ig-platform-id (0x12345678) to isolate any graphics issue you may have.

Thanks, I've tried EmuVariableUefi and an invalid ig-plat (a lot of FFFFs) as you mentioned, and still the same issue.
Third photo is a few minutes after it stalls at the apple logo; It doesn't appear to reach the partial installation/language screen anymore..
Images+Clover are attached below.

Solved! Installed your fork of VoodooTSCSync (managed to take a photo of early boot), and all is well so far! Half-way through installation now
Thanks so much anyways, and thank you for forking TSCSync in the first place..
