I had major issues with the panel flickering when GSync kicked in, so I RMAd it. RMA process was a huge pain through AOC's partner - they were very unresponsive and took about 5 weeks for the replacement to be sent out. The replacement one I received still had the flicker issue as well as a dead pixel. They wouldn't do anything about the single dead pixel since it falls within the quality control tolerance. I didn't want to be without a monitor for another 5 weeks so I just sucked it up, told myself the flicker wasn't going to be fixed, and kept it. They did offer me a prorated refund but it wasn't even close to what I had originally paid.
Anyway, long story short - this flickers bad when GSync kicks in. I've specifically seen it Forza Horizon 3, Assassin's Creed Origins, Jotun, and Bioshock Remaster. You can turn off GSync but then what's the point of the paying the premium?
Edit: Gsync will help hide dips, a 1080 is a suitable card for 2k@144hz target, but the 1080ti/1180 will be even better or wait 2-3 years for a 1380 or whatever. The monitor will outlive your current rig almost for certain.

-but on a real note...can my GTX 1080 put out MAX setting (minus AA if needed) on basically every game?

2560x1440, G-SYNC-, 144 Hz, and IPS (beware there is a TN version, but Newegg's is IPS unless stated otherwise). It's been on sale down to $549 every now and then. Had mine for 2 months and had zero issues. I mainly play Rainbow Six: Siege on a GTX 1080 and Ryzen 5 1600X. Maxed out, I get anywhere from 80-120 FPS (depends on the map and if there are tons of explosions happening, etc) at 2560x1440. So yes, your card can handle it.Thing about G-Sync is you turn off V-Sync and the monitor and computer handle everything. So even though, at this new higher resolution (I came from 1080p @ 60Hz), my framerate can fluctuate so much, you do not see or feel it at all, because the monitor is adjusting its internal refresh rate to match your framerate (it's like having V-Sync without the mouse delay and without the framerate cap). Bonus is that montior supports 165 Hz via overlock (they advertise this).
