ECC on AMD seems quite hard in practice even though the CPU support isn't artificially limited like with Intel. Making sure the motherboard supports it is hard and then the RAM options are extremely limited and generally quite slow and expensive. Threadripper is maybe better but that's quite a jump in cost. It would be so nice to finally be able to assemble low-cost home servers and workstations with ECC but it remains a niche where you have to give up a lot to get it.
