You might need to downgrade the BIOS as AMD starts to remove G series CPU support off BIOS microcode to fix bugs, but yes it should work generally.

There will be too many problems with that.  AMD’s only method of changing their systems as new games come out that aren’t tested on their hardware is to release bios updates.  As a result AMD does multiple times as many bios updates as intel does.  (And why one has to keep the bios on AMD systems up to date.  It’s not nearly as important with intel.) They will need to keep doing so.  Having to downgrade bios basically takes you out of that loop so old systems will start to have problems which in turn will cause problems for AMD, so it’s not in their best interest.  They MAY, at least for a while, produce separated updates for older systems until the stuff is too slow to play the new stuff anyway.  This may be what you are talking about.
