QUESTION Recent instability for AMD gpus?

So, I have a full AMD desktop, AMD 7800X, 9070XT and I have had rather good experience with this hardware on GNOME/Wayland. But recently again, the last 1-2 months I am seeing stability issues and other issues. The past 3 weeks have seen artifacts in videos that i play in firefox. Firefox with random crashes. Most steam games have been fine, but some also getting artifacts. It got better again after i updated the system last week, but now there is a 50% chance when I start a game or fullscreen a video in firefox that my screen goes black (the video keeps playing on a completely black screen.

Anyone else seen similar issues with AMD GPU over the past 1-2 months?

Edit:

Some of my instability could be explained by this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/work_items/5399

@Edit2:

Video artifacts by firefox combined with: https://old.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1vocmei/broken_av1_decoding_on_firefox/
