It still sucks. I know a few people with AMD's. They are constantly juggling driver versions for various reasons, one of them can't even play certain games anymore because older drivers crash and newer drivers aren't recognized by certain games.
If you are okay with uninstalling and reinstalling a different driver version every time you want to boot up certain games (and then reinstall again when you play VRC), AMD is a decent choice. Just don't ask me why my avatar's hair looks blocky and pixelated or why that tank camera is upside-down.

About 4 years ago, the AMD driver situation was so bad in VRC that about 80% of anime models were invisible for users with certain high-end AMD cards. These shader issues are still a thing today, just not quite as prominent. Shader authors mention that supporting AMD is a constant uphill battle once you get deeper into shaders. Things work differently, or don't work at all, or crash AMD users.
Also you will have a harder time doing anything with AI, you will have a harder time recording or streaming video, and by extension you will have a harder time if you decide to buy a Quest 2.
AMD makes good cards at affordable prices, but their drivers are fucking abysmal.
