After setting sddm as default-display-manager in /etc/X11, and rebooting, I got a completely black screen.

Having to set the default-display-manager in order to start the display manager is working as intended.

The black screen is clearly not. It could be useful to have just the sddm related logs of this last error. But there are some known black screen bugs see the upstream related issues here:

https://github.com/sddm/sddm/labels/crash%2Fwhitescreen

So the next question is, what video card are you using? Which video driver is that using? Is it showing the mouse cursor in the black screen?

Could you test changing the theme to a simpler one, like maui, installing the sddm-theme-maui package and setting the current theme to it in the /etc/sddm.conf file?

If the file is not created simply adding this to it would be enough:
[Theme]
Current=maui

Happy hacking,
