Manually entering the commands and rerunning the script resolves the issue. LARBS now ran fully and exited cleanly.
However, running startx results in "Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections", a series of dots for 2-3 minutes and finally
xinit: giving up
xinint: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
waiting for X server to shut down...
.......
xinit: X server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal
waiting for server to die ...
xinit: X server refuses to die
After some searching I found this is an issue that sometimes comes up when using the xf86-video-nouveau drivers, but I don't have those as I'm running on Intel integrated graphics and have the corresponding video driver installed.
.xinitrc is present in the home directory and has the entry "exec i3"
xorg-server was installed successfully, I'm at a loss here.

Okay good.
Your problem now with X is that your laptop apparently needs some other video driver. Try installing xf86-video-intel
or look up your specific model and try to determine what it needs. I'm not familiar with your particular laptop.

I looked up what video driver I needed according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Driver_installation which is indeed the xf86-video-intel which I had already installed.
Something noteworthy is that when I boot into Arch, before prompting me with a login, the tty outputs:
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp4s0: link not ready
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp4s0: link not ready
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp4s0: link not ready
wlp4s0: authenticate with dc:53:7c:71:4c:c7
wlp4s0: send auth to dc:53:7c:71:4c:c7 (try 1/3)
wlp4s0: authenticated
wlp4s0: associate with dc:53:7c:71:4c:c7 (try 1/3)
wlp4s0: RX AssocResp from dc:53:7c:71:4c:c7 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=3)
wlp4s0: associated
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp4s0: link becomes ready
then, 40 seconds later:
random: crng init done
random: 7 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting
then I have to press a key to finally go to the login prompt. After that I can login to my created user but starting startx results in the above mentioned problem. On some rare occassions (I haven't been able to determine what makes them unique) I do not get this IPv6 output and get a direct login prompt, after which startx does work.

Okay, interesting... I'm honestly just not sure what this could be though, especially if the IPv6 errors might be conditioning whether the X server can start... I've never seen anything quite like this.
Your problem is nearly certainly not with the LARBS script itself though, but with some bizarre interaction between your networking setup on your computer. Have you installed an Arch or other minimal desktop on this computer before?
For the record, LARBS installs NetworkManager to handle your internet connections. There might be some other package you need for some unique setup on your laptop. You might also want to just try hooking up to an ethernet port and investigating what changes that makes. It sure looks like these errors are you failing to authenticate with your own wifi.

I've tried various things by now, none of which worked and searching for my problems online yields no results leading me to believe I've fucked up somewhere in the installation process...
I'm gonna be installing Arch from scratch and perhaps trying to set up my own X server and i3 installation to see if these weird problems persist.
Thanks for all the quick and helpful replies, I'll be reporting back after I reinstalled.

I reinstalled Arch with an ethernet connection this time instead of wifi-menu'ing into my router. However, after rebooting, I encountered this at my prompt window, which is a very similar output to what I had previously.
My system also refuses to shutdown after issueing the command "reboot", which gives me this output:

So is this problem happening before installing LARBS? If it is, you'd be better served asking on another forum just because it's likely some hardware problem or extra thing you need to install.

You were right, the issue was a kernel fault with some Thinkpad Battery Extension module which it tried to load. Full thread here:
