I guess you make your own judgement by what is said in the article..

'Although these figures may appear relatively low, continuous activity can accumulate over time. At 5 MB/s, the process would generate approximately 432GB of writes per day, or nearly 13TB per month'.
 
A couple of solutions on Reddit, I have done the first one here and see it has pretty much stopped when monitoring with HWinfo64.

Solutions​

Some users have since identified two possible workarounds.

Workaround 1: Disable AMD External Events Utility

  1. Press Win + R, type services.msc and press Enter.
  2. Find AMD External Events Utility.
  3. Open its properties, stop the service and change its Startup type to Disabled.
This stops the excessive disk activity caused by atieclxx.exe.

Workaround 2: Disable Resizable BAR (ReBAR)​

Another user discovered that disabling ReBAR stopped the excessive disk writes. This might be a better alternative if you want to keep AMD External Events Utility enabled, although disabling ReBAR can carry other issues.
