This is the conclusion that I'd come to. I'd rather have a card that physically works properly but with work arounds for driver the drivers than a card that's physically broken from from the start.

I am on 4.5, on 4.4 also don't remember any problems. what other hardware do you have? I can't imagine what's been changed in newer host kernels that would have any effect on this issue. For my personal use with GPU assignment, I would not consider an AMD card that hasn't been thoroughly vetted by multiple sources. NVIDIA may or may not be actively working against us, but for the time being we know how to work around everything. That may change any given day, but if that day comes you can ebay the card in protest or just run older drivers and hope that we can figure out yet another workaround.
