yes, especially if you are not a gamer.

AMD has better multi threaded performance (in some cases double that of intel).

Intel still has some lead in single threaded performance, and some vector optimizations.

So for general use case amd is better, but there are some specialized cases where intell still makes sense.

Specialized cases such as high end development or servers?

[unionpivo]

no for development (and probably) it's amd all the way

Servers I'd imagine is where AMD excel, not Intel, considering their primary purpose is serving many users where multi threaded performance comes to the fore. Intels usecase, compiling?

On the server it depends. For front end servers, where you are running many connections with no shared state, AMD crushes Intel so bad it's shameful.

On the backend, for things that are not highly parallelizable or memory sensitive, sometimes Intel wins. Things like databases and the like. That was when Intel still used a single ring bus, the mesh should add latency similiar to Epyc's IIRC. I haven't seen any benchmarks of the newest EPYCs vs the newest Xeons though.
