And any discrete GPU will also give trouble, specially newer AMD and Nvidia ones.

From my personal experience, AMD GPUs from 2017 and newer do not have working 3D rendering support at all without nonfree blobs, only BIOS works, which means you’re stuck on tty at 800x600 resolution, I have no clue if Nvidia newer cards also have the same issue as I’ve not touched an Nvidia card since GTX 10 series nor I have plans on doing so, but I wouldn’t be surprised newer cards have the exact same issue.
