Do Ryzen CPUs still have 'issues' in games? Upgrade questions.

Howdy folks, I remember when Ryzen 1st and 2nd gen CPUs were on the market, following much of Digital Foundry's Youtube footage seemed to indicate odd stutters and weird incompatibility issues in a variety of games when compared to equivalent Intel CPUs at the time. I can only assume this was because of new CPU architecture and Intel dominance over the previous 10 years.

Fast forwards to today, I have a 9900k (5ghz oc) + RTX3090 rig + 32GB of DDR4 3200, I am considering getting a 5950x / 5900x.

My PC usage is mostly mixed, media / gaming and encoding mixture, mostly gaming.

So:

1) If I was to upgrade today, and overclocked a 5900x / 5950x. What sort of all core clock speeds should I expect?

2) Do these issues with stutters and odd game incompatibilities still exist with the Ryzen architecture back from a couple of years ago?
 
Yea I think the Zen4 suggestion makes sense, good to know that the first gen ryzen issues are pretty much sorted these days though
