What I find interesting is that Enhanced Sync is off by default in all of the gaming profiles that come included in the drivers. I turned it on two nights ago to give Doom Eternal a try and it just caused nothing but stuttering, all the way to the main menu.

I've left it off now and I don't intend to return to that functionality. Anything that can resolve my intermittent black screens is a bonus.

Enhanced sync never worked correctly. Its function is to smooth out the framerate above your refresh rate and always ended up stuttering. I've heard its the cause for some bsod also.With frame limiters and freesync it should stay disabled indefinitely.

Enhanced Sync does not work properly for now and due to that it's currently disabled in all profiles.
My experience is same as @Undying mention, nothing but stuttering.

Any reason why Radeon Settings reports my monitor's freesync range as 30-60hz on a monitor with a variable refresh range of 30-144hz?

Yeah, I would just disable it. I've always had my suspicions of freesync.
