Nothing has changed
On new motherboards all IC run good just matter of timings and these are still the best on Samsung. On Ryzen regardless if it's Samsung, Hynix or Micron, you can count on 3600-3733 max. In general everything above 3600 is hard to stabilize. On X299 about the same. Most motherboards handle 3600-3800 stable using various IC. Some will run at 4000 and above that a lot depends on the IMC ( as I found out in last days ).
From motherboards ASRock is solid and pretty much every their X299 motherboard will run at 3600 using 4x16GB Samsung kit or at 3800-4000 using 4x8GB.
I can't tell you what about X470 motherboards but IMC in new ryzens is the same so all is matter of BIOS and that at least in ASRock motherboards is good. I know that Shawn had some luck with MSI too.
From memory kits there is long list but if you want something good that will run at tight timings then still it's everything form G.Skill TridentZ/TridentZ RGB at 3200 CL14 or 3600+ at any timings. In last days I was also testing Team Xtreem 4133 CL18 kit which is on the same IC and runs about the same on Intel and AMD as higher Trident Z.
If you have any kits on your mind then just post product numbers and will be easier to say if it's good or not.
