That may be true for new Ryzen, but what about RX 480? Wont their hashrate drop to before Blockchain driver?

It will drop for people that don't know/don't want to read driver release notes

IMO, For Polaris cards, yes. But for another card such as R9 series, still, 16.9.2 is the best (based on my experience).

They will still be the best for mining eth due to the DAG issue that it has, I have 1 rig I have not updated due to mining something else. Why touch it if it ain't broke :)
