No, I didn't since Debian's kernel maintainers skipped 6.2: > https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=linux&arch=ia64 > > > I currently have the rx2620 and the rx2800-i2 at home and gave it a test > > > on them, and... > > > > > > ...it is working more or less flawlessly on both systems.

You should cross-compile your kernel. I can build a kernel for my rx2660 on an AMD EPYC in 2-3 minutes. And it's definitely better to catch the regression before the release as this way you will get the fix landed for 6.4 instead of 6.5. Adrian -- .''`.
