AMD EXPO still not fixed - Should I switch to intel?

Fully anecdotal at this point but following Zen4 for the last 9 months and owning the platform myself (which has been flawless with EXPO), I'm willing to bet that Corsair kit is just crap. Their cheap DDR4 stuff was crap, and the last 9 months have told me that their DDR5 can be crap, at least with Zen4. Meanwhile I never see people with serious issues with G.Skill DDR5 w/ EXPO. My personal kit has been great, as have all the kits I've seen people use or helped people build since October.
Again, completely anecdotal and I understand this.
The amount of times I've come across new Zen4 builders having trouble and its a Corsair kit has grown large enough now that I simply cannot recommend anyone buys their DDR5 for AMD. G.Skill is known to work great, and often is cheaper. It's the memory AMD sent to reviewers at launch for review of their new platform so if its good enough for AMD, its good enough for us.
A Flare X5 EXPO kit, DDR5-6000CL30 is $98 in the US. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LBstt6/gskill-flare-x5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-f5-6000j3038f16gx2-fx5
Could always try manual tuning, however the simplest guide I have for good settings are for Hynix kits and I'm not sure what that Corsair kit is using.
