For production (video editing, 3d modeling, etc) - 7900x3d
Here's a very simplified rundown of the 3 big x3d CPUs
7800x3d - 8 Cores / 16 Threads all parked on x3D Cache
7900x3d - 12 Cores / 24 Threads, 6 Cores / 12 Threads parked on x3D cache (generally only these cores will be utilized for gaming), 6 Cores / 12 Threads not parked on x3D cache (suffers from latency, not generally used for gaming)
7950x3d - 16 Cores / 32 Threads, 8 Cores / 16 Threads parked on x3D cache, 8 Cores / 16 Threads not parked on x3D cache
Gaming performance - 7800x3d (8C/16T) ~ 7950x3d (8C/16T) > 7900x3d (6C/12T)
Production performance - 7950x3d (16C/32T) > 7900x3d (12C/24T) > 7800x3d (8C/16T)
barring that AMD's core scheduling bug got fixed. I believe the 7800x3d performed better than the 7950x3d even though there's no hardware reason it should. Same idea of the bug for Intel CPUs where disabling the E-cores increased performance as there was a bug where the slower E cores were utilized in gaming instead of faster P cores. Disabling E cores forced the games to use the better P cores and improved performance in video games.

I play games (War Is Hell, Cities: Skylines, Far Cry, Valorant), but I also work in Solidworks, Chief Architect, & Inkscape. Which would provide the best balance?

there is a reason why 7800x3d has been Amazon's best selling cpu for almost entire time it has been released.

The primary reason the 7900X3D didn't sell well was because the initial launch price of $600 made no sense when the 7950X3D was $700. With the 7900X3D price now essentially competing with the 7800X3D, the 7900X3D makes a lot of sense for the budget workstation that wants to also game.
Edit: nvm, gonna wait till June for AMD Zen 5 announcement and release date. Should be a lot cheaper following announcement.

People that automatically go to the 7800x3d for gaming aren't considering resolution and the titles your'e playing. At really high resolutions and upper tier settings on AAA games, even a 4080 (sometimes even a 4090) will be gpu limited long before the CPU. There's a reason why all the review sites use 1080p to show the differences between the chips.
If you're rocking a 4k monitor and play graphics intensive games, this chip is a far better proposition. You'll be negligibly slower in gaming versus the 7800x3d. We're talking 2-3% overall and no difference in some of the more intense titles. On the other hand, you'll be substantially faster than a 7800x3d in things like encoding, rendering etc. I'm honestly shocked how many people don't consider these gpu bottlenecks.

4k gaming resuts with a 4090 ^^^. The plain jane 7900x is within 5% of the 7800x3d. The delta is even less with a 7900x3d. The delta shrinks further and further the with lesser gpu's.

Here's a comparison that actually has this CPU on it and compares it directly with the 7800x3d and 7950x3d at current price points since the main complaint on the 7900x3d previously was price vs performance not actually performance.

No you're not crazy
Again, there's a reason why the article you posted stuck with 1080p. At that resolution, you can clearly see the 7800x3d is a better gaming chip. Nobody is denying that. That modern GPU's will be bottlenecked at higher resolutions (think 3440x1440 and higher) in the most intensive games is also a fact. So if you're that individual that games in those conditions, you won't see a difference in games between 7900x3d and a 7800x3d but you absolutely WILL see a difference in things like encoding and rendering.
The short response is, the comparison is lot more nuanced than the standard take. Decide what resolution you're at, what type of games you play, what settings you like and how much you truly need the extra productivity the additional 4 cores the 7900x3d gives you. Most of the world is still using 1080p so of course the 7800x3d is gaming chip of choice for them. Thing is they're not everyone.
For me, the 7800x3d was a no brainier in my 2nd pc since I can now dedicate my main pc with the 7950x for productivity.
