Biostar AM4 boards were very bad with BIOS updates and overall bugs. How are their AM5 boards doing in that spectre?

I've had three Biostar motherboards in my life. The first was a Baby-AT board in my first-ever build in 1988. The second was an AM2+ board with a 780 chipset and the third was an AM4 board called the A320MH. I have never had any of them fail on me and they tend to be inexpensive so I wouldn't be averse to owning another one.

The problem is that they don't really have a presence in the West anymore. We're kinda limited now to ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte and MSi. Budget motherboard brands like Biostar, Jetway and ECS/Elitegroup don't seem to be around much anymore. I have to say though that I find the X670E Valkyrie to be a beautiful-looking motherboard:

The only problem is that trying to find a Biostar motherboard in the western market is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack (that doesn't have a needle in it). There just aren't any available and even when a seller lists it, the price is so inflated that there's no point in buying it. Like there's a seller on Newegg that has Biostar products but they're more than double the price of the big four. They have an A320MH for $276CAD but I bought mine in-store on clearance for $40CAD (I couldn't say no to a $40 AM4 motherboard, no matter how basic it was).
