So how do I use OpenCL then?

https://www.amd.com/de/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-navi-linux
but did not install the packages themselves (since I'm not sure whether this breaks my Mesa 20.0 setup). Instead I copied the required files from the opencl* packages to their intended directories.
This whole procedure is ugly as hell, but darktable, blender and Geekbench all detect it properly.

OMG. That disappointing, tbh.

Will try.

EDIT: I've been corrected, ROCm doesn't work =(

and looking it up
https://rocm.github.io/hardware.html
A working ROCm on an RX 5700 would be nothing short of a miracle.
Second point (and I think I stated this in my original post): It's not that the card doesn't work at all. It's just some heavy lifting on an 18.04 Ubuntu (which is (a) probably the most popular distro and (b) the "recommended distro for the official AMD driver). Once you get it running everything's "quite ok". BUT - and that's my biggest gripe - it is the instability of the setup:
18.04/Kernel 5.3/Mesa 20.0 - works (my current setup)
18.04/Kernel 5.4/Mesa 20.0 - nope
19.10/Kernel 5.3/Mesa 20.0 - nope
19.10/Kernel 5.4/Mesa 20.0 - works, BUT (again) SotTR gives me 22fps vs. the 100 in the working 18.04 setup
AND you have to be cautious about "other things installed" - the working 19.10 setup crashed with lm-sensors/sensors installed. (At this point I might start to mix up some of the working/not-working configurations, but several days of tinkering are hands-down a PITA.)
OTOH: Ubuntu has a graphics drivers PPA which provide the most recent NVidia drivers pretty much immediately after release:
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=bionic
Now that's something I consider simple...
