I did see some evidence of one guy who got a ryzen to work, and another who got an a 10 series to work. I'd nab an a 10, but this old fx 8350 is on sale.

What do you think?

It'll work great, unlike the first gen ryzen boards the
bulldozer/piledriver AMD-Vi actually works.

It is the third best pre-PSP/ME x86-64 CPU and 8 cores will be good for
many VM's.

I however would consider purchasing a KCMA-D8 if you want to install
libre firmware, and getting one of the compatible opteron cpu's for it -
you will want this eventually anyway and you might as well get one
before they stop selling them.

I'm running on an FX-6300, and it's working great for me. I was a little worried when I started reading the docs and saw there were issues with AMD support, but no problems.
