All that have the real G-Sync badge, not only G-sync compatible, you'll only find them in the upper price class unfortunately.

I don't think so, there are multiple threads on the web regarding GSync certified monitors (with GSync hardware) that have this issue, starting from 2014 when Freesync monitors were not "compatible".

Maybe the upper price range of the true GSync ones, such as Asus ROG with IPS panels? I ask because obviously it's not something they write on the box.

Edit: Maybe not even those... https://pcper.com/2014/12/a-look-into-reported-g-sync-display-flickering/

They say the issue was observed only in loading screens though.

Nvidia page (link) with all monitors that are G-Sync Ultimate, G-Sync or G-Sync compatible

G-Sync ultimate = G-Sync+HDR

G-Sync = monitor with nvidia gsync chip  (that's why monitors are more expansive)

G-Sync compatible = monitor with VRR (freesync or standard VRR) compatible with nvidia card and activate in latest drivers (every driver update the list is growing)

Gsync vs Gsync compatible : if i remember well, the only advantage is a lower min refresh rate to have the function (more details here)

Using V-Sync in combination with G-Sync in Nvidia panel solved the flickering issues below 50 fps completely for me.

I took a random "certified" one from the list you linked and found this video.

I don't think there is much difference between GSync and Freesync compatible, apart from the operating ranges. Flickering is present especially in VA panels.

However as I wrote before, RDR2, Fallout 76 and other games are perfect and I get brightness oscillations only during certain loading screens.  Hopefully MSFS will be able to run in real fullscreen mode in the future (I don't understand why it doesn't now) and that will fix this issue too.

There is no issue with msfs. I use g-sync with it perfectly without any flicker. 
my monitor is a LG Ultragear 38GL950G.

Previously I had a Acer Predator Z35p that I sent back because it had terrible flicker. 
 

ps, not sure if it is true or not, but someone said that if HDR mode is enabled then the sim is running true full screen?

It was until the last update. Now even in HDR it runs in borderless window mode (at least on my system).

It still does, it switches to fullscreen during the loading actually. But it still flickers, the odd thing is that even if the framerate is within the VRR range (48-144) my monitor doubles it inconsistently, hence the flickering due to the rapid variations between 50ish and 100ish...

Probably a better monitor would not do it.

Allow me to add my 2 cents in this discussion.

LD;DR: I have a positive experience using a 2070S with a Freesync only, non G-Sync compatible monitor (LG 27UL600).

It is effectively eliminating nearly all juddering. However for this to be effective, you'd also need to eliminate stutters and take care of a few other things to balance everything out. You might want to further read:
