Ok, quick update here. I forgot to mention that with both the previous PMOS and Manjaro attempts were both with Phosh. After posting this I tried two more things: Fedora with Phosh, which got past the lock screen but way too glitchy to use after that (flickering screen/backlight, etc) and then Manjaro with the latest alpha build with Plasma.
Manjaro with Plasma has made it the furthest so far. Logged into the desktop, able to get into terminal, connect to wifi, etc. Don't have a SIM yet to test call/SMS but that's not really why I got the device anyway
Still curious if anyone else has run into the issue I ran into with Phosh? Seems weird that I would get the same/similar results on multiple distros if it weren't an issue tied to Phosh itself (or maybe something else they coincidentally have in common). Yet Phosh seems to to be the furthest along in development and people are posting about it working (to an extent) all the time. Strange, yeah?
