I have the same problem, picom doesn't run when using modesetting drivers with AccelMethod "none". My picom config is the same

It looks like xorg is loading the modesetting drivers for you.

go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and create a file called 20-intel.conf and add the following lines

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

and reboot.

You don't have your drivers properly installed, as you are not getting hardware accelerated opengl. Probably missing intel dri?
