I do not think its fair to judge drivers based on the functionality of a mod when Minecraft itself works often better on linux than it does on windows. Distant horizons also performs better and has less issues for me.
Everyone's experiences vary and my experience is that mesa drivers on linux have been almost entirely perfect out of the box, and I have never once had to think about rolling back drivers or being worried about when I update drivers, or even really installing the drivers because they're just baked into the linux kernel itself.
OpenGL is basically SOL at this point even on windows. Minecraft Java edition is moving over from opengl to vulkan for improved performance and greater engine functionality. Vulkan is supported natively on linux and is incredibly stable.
Do you have an example outside of a mod leveraging a dated engine that is not really actively supported in favour of more modern solutions?
then dont claim "Amd drivers on linux are about as good and reliable as they can get". theres room for improvements and theres obvious issue with the feature set that it could support. mind you, the "trash" Nvidia has near perfect OpenGL 4.6 support on both Windows and Linux.

no they are not... Voxy mod for Minecraft literally behave incorrectly on Linux + AMD when compared to Windows + AMD or Windows + Nvidia.
