Dev Experiences with AMD GPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

I hope it's okay to ask this question here, since it seems to differ a little from general posts.

I am currently looking to upgrade my workstation GPU and AMD's pricing is far better suited for my budget. But I worry a lot about the driver stability, since I witnessed some true horror stories with AMD drivers back in 2020. I have also read that they've gotten a lot better in the meantime.

So if you happen to use an AMD GPU: How was your experience with productivity software (Unity, UE, Maya, blender etc.) so far?

I remember figuring out how to get OpenCL stuff working back in 2019 was not so easy, but I haven't had problems like that in a few years now. More recently, getting blender to do GPU rendering for example was just a matter of figuring out which package needed installing.
