There is no reason for RX 5500 XT at all. To have a 1650 Super about similar price for better performance, price and TDP.

There have been some driver updates recently and videos online will show this thing smoking the equivalent Nvidia cards in games.

Well if this has 8gb vs the 4gb model of the 1650 Super, you will see it in textures.

AMD needs to redirect some of its budget to gpgpu support on the driver side of things, unless they are committed to being a purely gaming oriented vendor. They are over a full generation behind nvidia on opencl support.
So the question is... buy a 5000 series and have faith they still have plans to update 5000 series drivers for compute tasks when 6000 series is already released? It's a risk.
