Even without this crunch, it speaks volumes the robustness of their drivers in that various patches for Windows have been released and major games as well, without much issues.

I hope AMD can keep their driver stack as clean as it is right now, but then again, I don't use much on my 580 outside of some basic functions.

I own RX570 l, driver updates don't mean much to me anymore either. The one that mattered was OpenGL optimizations.
I have 22.11.1 installed. Once I allowed Win10 to install drivers through Win Update. I thought, what the heck, those should be the most stable, let's try. The games I play saw decreased performance and I reverted to latest from AMD. Shouldn't matter for such an old card, right? Turns out sometimes it does.

Edit:
Tbh, I don't even know how to assess Adrenaline driver stability, which I guess is a good thing... ?

That's exactly what I mean, it's a good thing, they're rock solid.

I also have an nvidia 1080 and while it's now legacy on the drivers side, when I bought it it was brand spanking new, and every time a new game came out, you needed a driver update for stability/prevent glitches, and it was so, so annoying.

I don't use it as my main anymore (I don't game that much anymore), but I'd be surprised if that was not still the case.
