Yeah personally use stable kernel and driver works ok as youre said with nvidia propietary driver

Whatever the reason to use newest kernel can be completely unrelated to Nvidia. It's not all about the GPU.

I have passed from Nvidia to AMD recently and in my own experience, i think there are some little issues with Mesa drivers, but this can be resolved with some tricks. If i had issues with propietary nvidia drivers it is more difficult to resolve.
AMD open-source drivers are very good. But the main issue is hardware accelerated renders in some applications like DaVinciResolve. Nvidia is better at this point. And OpenCL implementation is outdated (1.2 despite the last and speedy 2.0).
