The 6400 lacks video encoders, but it still has decoders for H.264 and H.265. VP9 decoding should also work, but it's not listed on AMD's website per se. To use these capabilities on Linux, you will need to install the correct VA-API drivers, though, and Firefox is still reluctant to enable hardware video decoding on Linux.
The resizable BAR problem is annoying, but that's not limited to AMD, either. I'm not 100% sure about Intel, but if resizable BAR doesn't affect performance, that only makes me think they left some easy performance win on the table.
I have to agree on Intel QuickSync, though, that's hands down the best video encode/decode solution for consumers. AV1 encoders are very recent additions to the GPU landscape, though, so you won't be able to get those on a budget. AV1 decoders are easier to obtain, and H.264/VP9 especially so.
