I remember an article about an architect who lost his mental visualization, he had no problem performing mental rotation puzzles. Can't seem to find the article, unfortunately.
In general, from reading a lot about this a few years back (when I found out "seeing a picture in your mind" is not just a metaphor...) it seems aphantasiacs don't have any difficulty with any kind of mental task.
Edit: here's the article, rotation stuff is in the 2nd paragraph on page 2.

- the_solenoid 8y agoI wanted to be an architect or similar in high school - but I was always painfully slow at drafting. I also found throughout life I cannot easily transfer my ideas (like, if I have a concept for something, its not an image, its just a collection of ideas or concepts) into something physical (found out about aphantasia early 2018)
