I built a new 9950x3d + x870e system last year. trying to use the motherboard’s wifi would kernel panic things. couldnt turn bluetooth on and off. couldn’t control the RGB.
Now, WiFi works great. Bluetooth works great. OpenRGB supports the RGB. Things are great. Took time to get here, but we got here.
The strong irony is that when high core count and asymmetrical multi-CCD chips started rolling out, they were having CCD pinning issues in windows. But since Linux has a scheduler that has been NUMA awareness for ages… Linux was actually just fine with these things.
Linux was actually better for bleeding edge hardware for once.
I use ethernet for everything, so even now I don’t use WiFi. I only figured out it worked because my internet was out a few months later and needed to connect to a hotspot, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not crashing. I also don’t really mess with RGB or bluetooth, so I cant really comment on those either. The motherboard itself always worked, it was just the integrated chips (it was new wifi 7 chip) that I wasn’t actually using anyway. It may have been fixed in days, weeks… who knows, I wasnt testing it.
tl;dr - sorry, I don’t have a good answer. The board always “worked” for my use case.

How long did it take to work?
