Purpose:

vulkan-amdgpu-pro, lib32-vulkan-amdgpu-pro: Proprietary Vulkan for AMD GPUs.
amf-amdgpu-pro: Hardware video encoding/decoding for AMD GPUs
amd-vulkan-prefixes: Provides vk_radv, vk_amdvlk, and vk_pro. Lets you choose between AMD Vulkan drivers.
obs-studio-amf: OBS Studio screen recording software patched for AMF support

Benefits:

vulkan-amdgpu-pro: Offers 10-20% better performance than vulkan-radeon
amf-amdgpu-pro: Allows you to use hardware acceleration instead of CPU for video encoding/decoding. This reduces stutter when gaming and recording at the same time, and allows for much better video quality.

obs-studio-amf – I'd prefer not to add another obs-studio package.

As for the amdgpu-pro drivers, AMDGPUPROEULA.gz:

3. RESTRICTIONS ... You may not:
   b. distribute ... or otherwise transfer the Software or Documentation;

[dr460nf1r3]

Yup, this pretty much makes it non-viable since we can't add it's deps.. :/
Add it to banished packages?

[xiota]

It's already implicit. Can make explicit if you think it may be frequently requested in the future.

AMDGPU Pro should probably explicitly be in the list.
