Additional information
After facing a similar issue in VSCode there was a workaround available to disable gpu acceleration (--disable-gpu). It required a second flag to be effective (--disable-software-rasterizer) but passing in these two arguments has worked both on VS Code and Obsidian. It does feel like a bit of a hack / workaround though.
