but from my personal experience the “AMD works way better than Nvidia on Linux” mindset is no longer a thing.

Oh my god it absolutely is, and until NVK becomes the standard everywhere it will most likely stay that way. That shit breaks so often on a laptop I gonna sell soon, on my families' computers and apparently also in computers from people in my local hackerspace. Some distros just managed to work around those drivers' problems really well, sometimes by including them from the start of creating their own well-working packages (like Arch's nvidia-dkms).
