I haven't seen any while running Stretch or later.

For desktops, yes. My son is using a Ryzen 2300U laptop, and the
stretch-backports amdgpu X11 system works well for him. His last
remaining issue is that the touchscreen isn't working, which is
not a Ryzen issue.
Ryzen (and ThreadRipper)_chips without a G or U suffix have no
built-in graphics anyway, so it's not an issue unless you're
buying one of those.
