Is there not an official tool from AMD?

It's like the 3rd sentence in the blog post.......

to be fair it wasn't clear that was an official AMD debugger and besides that's only for debugging ROCm applications.

this sentence doesn't make any sense a) ROCm is an AMD product b) ROCm "applications" are GPU "applications".

there's 2 AMD KMD(kernel mode drivers) in linux: amdkfd and amdgpu .. the graphics applications use the amdgpu which is not supported by amdgdb .. amdgdb also has the limitation of requiring dwarf and and mesa/amd UMDs doesn't generate that ..
