I think it's depend also of the amd cpu model
here the cpu flags on my diffents amd generation

The predefined qemu cpu models flags are available in qemu src code
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/cb5ed407a1ddadf788fd373fed41c87c9e81e5b0/target/i386/cpu.c
+ssse3,+sse4.1,+sse4.2, -> (memory optimisation, optionnal, can't accelerate applications if they are compiled to support it)
+x2apic, (intel + amd epyc only)
+aes, -> hardware crypto (optionnal, to speedup ssl for example)
+sep, (avaible on intel/amd)
+ibpb, (spectre/meldown protection, amd only) -> optionnal
+movbe, (avaiable on intel, and amd epyc only)
+lahf_lm, (Load AH from Flags (LAHF) and Store AH into Flags (SAHF) in long mode) -> avaiable on intel/amd
+virt-ssbd, (spectre meldown like protection, protection, it's for amd only. intel flag is +ssbd. don't known how it can work...)
+kvm_pv_eoi : paravirtual end of input (EOI) events. (it's kvm specific, for acceleration)
don't remember about the other.
I never have tested between intel and epyc, but on older amd (not epyc), the migration was sometime suceffull, but I had kernel panic some hours later.
I think it could be great to find the correct flags, and add a new model in proxmox directly.
I'm not sure about spectre/meltdown protections, how it's possible to have them in both amd/intel.
Maybe try with basic like (+x2apic, +sep, +movbe,+lahf_lm, +kvm_pv_eoi) and see if it's working. (and make them running for 24h after migration, to see if they are not crashing later)
