Yeah. I've thought about an AM5 but am leaning more towards an iOptron HAE29 / HAE29EC mount since I'll be doing unguided EAA with a C8 SCT, Celestron f/6.3 Reducer and ASI294MC Pro camera (which I currently do on my HEQ5 Pro mount without issue).
It's just a better strain wave/harmonic mount than the AM5 (even if it's a little fiddly but those little hex/Allen key screws can be replaced with small knobs).
I'm still on 2.1-10.74 firmware on my ASIAIR Plus 32GB, though.
Considering rolling back to 1.9.1 actually (since I'm on Android/Windows 10 with BlueStacks 5/Windows 11 with Windows Subsystem for Android) just to really experience the difference between that, the 2.1-10.74 firmware and the current 2.1.2 firmware.
