Vega gpus with dedicated memory are still crashing randomly: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/716
There's no sign of AMD doing anything about that. This is very disappointing, and that is one of the reasons why I can't recommend buying their products. Opensource drivers have a very little value when they don't work.

A pleasure to be an AMD linux customer.
Not exactly, firmware blobs will still be present and required.

For the last few months AMD Windows drivers had frequent driver timeouts (black screen for a few seconds) on Polaris products, which still aren't fixed in the latest driver. They require a restart because they sometimes happen almost every minute. I've used Windows a little bit not long ago and tbh, on Linux everything feels much more stable because it currently has zero issues with Polaris (at least in my experience).

"The current gap for Snx [Siemens NX] between pro drivers and Mesa is ~2% with my private branch."
Strange, according to wikipedia "Starting with version 1847, support for Windows versions prior to Windows 10 as well as for macOS was completely removed, and the GUI was removed from the Linux version."
So, why is opengl performance measured with Snx?

This is why I use Radeon GPUs at home. And at work where I can (to the point of having IT just buy me a Radeon Card instead of upgrading my whole machine since Dell presently is only shipping Nvidia-based systems, at least via what our IT department offers - I am less fussy on machines that will only be using Windows, but this particular box is going to be running Linux for GPU-heavy applications and life is too short and my time too valuable to be messing about with closed Nvidia drivers!)
