Chris,

With the following packages installed and the workaround removed the issue no longer occurs for me when enabling Automatic Login via Settings. I have tested rebooting and starting from off several times and it worked as expected each time. Previously the issue occurred on every boot.

gdm3 (3.36.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1)
libgdm1 (3.36.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1)
gir1.2-gdm-1.0:amd64 (3.36.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1)
nvidia-driver-450 (450.66-0ubuntu0.20.04.1)

/etc/default/grub
```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
```

Of note, when the desktop loaded I was greeted with the Ubuntu new user "Connect Your Online Accounts" setup screen and what appeared to be a fresh users settings. If this happens to anyone here there's a helpful README.txt in ~/ reminding you that you encrypted your home directory, and to run ecryptfs-mount-private to gain access. Oh yeah...

You can also expect to be prompted to unlock your login keyring at some random moment a few minutes after the desktop loads.

Anyway, wonderful work, and thanks to everyone who helped fix this, at least for me. :)
