Everything was surprisingly smooth and easy. Thanks to BIOS and kernel upgrades, I didn't need to apply any patches to get suspend/restore working. I made the following adjustments:
 1. Change BIOS sleep mode from Windows to Linux.
 2. Remove the Thunderbolt 3 controller from the device list for the sys-usb Qube.
 3. Followed the DPI scaling guide at https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/customization/dpi-scaling.md to have sane-looking fonts and UI elements. I have the WQHD display, and found that setting the DPI to 192, while not precisely accurate, gave a good result. In VMs, a text-scaling-factor of 1.25 seems about right; scaling-factor appears to have no effect.

I did NOT enable BIOS support for Thunderbolt 3 as recommended in some other HCL reports; doing so fixed the lockup-on-wake issue, but at the cost of disabling all USB devices. Leaving this disabled and removing the thunderbolt controller from the sys-usb device list fixes the issue and doesn't seem to affect USB support at all, as far as I can tell.

The following peripherals are tested and functional:
 - USB
 - Keyboard, trackpad
 - Built-in microphone
 - Built-in camera
 - Sound output
 - Suspend and restore

I haven't yet tested HDMI output, but based on other reports don't anticipate trouble.

Have you performed a throttle fix on the x1 carbon yet? I haven't committed to QUBES because I don't know exactly how to undervolt the X1C6.
