Can you try this instead? It might not make a difference, but it's low
effort to test.

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
  MatchIsKeyboard "on"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
  Driver "libinput"
  Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
EndSection

And optionally add (if applicable):

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
  Driver "libinput"
  Option "MiddleEmulation" "on"
  Option "DisableWhileTyping" "off"
EndSection
