Some important observations:

• The flicker happens only on the built-in display.

• When I mirror/extend to an external monitor or TV, the flickering completely disappears.

• It becomes more noticeable on higher brightness levels.

are highly indicative of a hardware fault within the display assembly itself, especially the external monitor test. The external monitor test result you experienced generally eliminates the logic board as the source

Another test: With the display on, gently move the display assembly back and forth on its hinge while watching the screen. Do the artifacts change as you move the display? That often indicates that the fault lies in the display cable that connects the logic board to the display.

• Could this be acknowledged as a macOS display bug, and will there be a fix in a future update?

Not in the case of a hardware fault. However, we cannot speak for Apple's plans, and they do not respond here.

The good new is you don't need a logic board, but I won't sugar-coat this, The bad news is the display on that model is one sealed assembly whose components cannot be separately replaced. Even the cable.

If any component of the assembly fails, you need a complete new assembly. Unless you have AppleCare+ you are looknig at a repair in the rangs fo US$500-600.

It's not fixable at home, so make an appointment with Apple to have them evaluate the actual cause and cost. We are other end users here who can neither see nor remotely access your computer, so can only go with our own experiences and those of others who have participated here.

Sincerely hoping that I am horribly wrong about this, I remain,

If the issue is still persist in the safe mode it is most likely a hardware issue I am afraid

I dont have this on my MacBook and have never heard of the issue
