sudo apt install xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
. Finally, after reboot I installed AMDGPU-PRO 17.50 for Ubuntu package with modified install script as needed i.e. replaced ubuntu) -> linuxmint) and run ./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy
because I have Polaris card RX580. Everything went fine and my system booted to desktop environment without any issues, even OpenCL works as expected (running ethminer at the moment to test GPU under heavy load). I have yet to verify audio over HDMI functionality as that is important for me too once I put this new HTPC next to TV set but hopefully it'll work as well.
UPDATE 2018/05/20: Yep, audio over HDMI works fine!
Here are few diagnostic logs for anybody's reference:
