I haven't checked yet.  But...

Dmitrii, could you please check if something changes when you set
baud-rate?  I can't see flickering in alacritty, when I

(setq baud-rate 1000000)

 

I do not know what it does, but it does help. 

I mean, it fixes the problem with flickering completely.

Could you please elaborate a bit more about possible consequences of that?

but it's kind of hard to reproduce anyway for me.
