Well I'll be damned! AMD does seem to have up their encoder game with the Navi series onward.
They were rightfully called out as having pretty bad encoders before that though, which I personally experienced on an RX 480 I used to have in my system. It made parsec a bit blurry and added quite a bit of latency.
Also, I would stand by the recommendation to avoid older office PC's with AMD graphics, since none of them are going to have Navi graphics.
The key word here being older. These days, AMD CPUs have a couple of Navi graphics cores built in, and they're good for both office tasks and video encoding.
True, for anyone who has a more modern AMD laptop, it would fare well with Parsec.
