Alder Lake has nearly full-support on all kernels after 5.19. Clock speeds changing is honestly nothing to worry about, and it's a pretty well-developed science at this point. It won't really have any adverse effects. Heterogenous core architectures are a little more wonky, but should be stable on recent kernels. In my experience, I have gotten no Alder Lake-specific crashes (even running picky software like anti-cheat-ridden games). The AMD options are also quite solid though, especially if you're looking for a no-nonsense, straightforward option. Neither one is a bad pick.
