I thought I'd better give another update given it has been a while and
I've not returned with the information requested. I've not found the
switch point to provide the bisect output asked for, but I can add some
additional info that may be of help.

Any 5.8 series kernel I have tried from rc1 through rc7 and the
5.8.0-53.60 package from the install prior to upgrade is pretty stable -
although not completely as it will crash in the same manner after a few
days use sometimes.

Any 5.11 series kernel from the rc2 onwards is decidedly unstable and
can usually crash within a few minutes of booting, but sometimes manages
a day or two.

A manual suspend using the menu generally causes no issues, but leaving
the computer to automatically suspend frequently causes problems,
frustratingly not always.

I have switched to Wayland from X.org in order to speed up the process
of tracking down the issue because it is orders of magnitude less
stable. I was running X.org when I logged the bug, but even the more
recent kernels would be fine for a few days around half the time, then
cause problems over a few boots and settle again. Switching to Wayland
has meant that on a problematic kernel I will either see the issue on
boot or within a day or two at the most. The details above in terms of
time scales are based on Wayland not X.org.

I will now fill in the gap in those kernel versions and look at the 5.9
and 5.10 series which I seem to have neglected!

Title:
  [amdgpu] Gnome locks up with artifacts on screen and
  [drm:amdgpu_dm_commit_planes [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Waiting for fences
  timed out!

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With this hardware configuration this issue has been a problem only
  when suspending or resuming from suspend under 20.04. Having decided
  to upgrade through 20.10 to 21.04 to see if things improve enough to
  help me identify which package to report a bug against things have
  become significantly worse.

  With 20.04 it was an occasional occurrence found when returning to the
  computer. Either it was stuck in the suspend process with a blank
  screen or one with artefacts on, or it would start the resume and then
  lock.

  On the upgrade to 21.04 (I didn't stop on 20.10 for more than enough
  time to tidy up and upgrade again), the system seemed improved
  initially - including notably improved boot times (no idea if that is
  related). After a bit of checking things out I went to enable the PPAs
  that had been disabled (Teamviewer, Nextcloud, Anydesk and Chrome -
  all of which have been installed after the problems were initially
  noted). When the window to authenticate popped up the screen filled
  with artefacts and I had to reset. After several attempts to reboot
  into a working desktop variously booting to artefacts, or getting
  artefacts immediately after logging in (usually when opening and
  maximising a terminal to capture the logs for later) I managed to
  change from Wayland to X.Org and logged in successfully with no
  problems for the rest of the day (including a Jitsi meeting lasting
  about 4 hours or more). The next day (today) suspend and resume is
  causing problems as before, boot has slowed down again (again, no idea
  if this is related).

  Compared to 20.04 there are more frequent locks (it had reached one
  every other day, but now it is more frequent - 4 today so far).

  Key things I have noted:

  - it is significantly worse under Wayland (to the point of being unusable)
  - it usually happens during the suspend / resume, but not always
  - when using the desktop it will always related to moving or resizing a window
  - leaving the PC powered off for a few minutes helps to get a reliable reboot 
(as in, if you reboot too quickly you get artefacts immediately after logging 
in)
