I wonder why crypto miners are willing to use the latest 3nm chip from Samsung. Do they get a better deal by using a less perfected node? Or is the benefit that much greater?

Smaller nodes use less power and crypto mining chips are ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) which means their design is far simpler as they are built to do 1 application efficiently.
