Check if the stock configurations for 9800X3D and 9950X3D are suitable for your CPUs.

I plan to install a 9800x3d on my home X670-e gaming WiFi and a 9950x3d on my work rig. My home setup uses a Noctua NH-D15 and the work rig uses an Nh-d15. I've noticed videos suggesting default settings are too high, but I haven't seen much CPU throttling on ASRock boards and I don't use one myself. The video link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd3iwFTadoo. Should I need to adjust power limits manually for any of the CPUs after installing the coolers?

Collect them, execute them, present real figures to the public. You’d have to locate an individual with identical MMO BIOS and CPU to provide this without sharing your data.

The Asrock incidents occurred because excessive voltage was applied when PBO was activated. They released a solution addressing the issue and acknowledged responsibility for the mistake.

Would they function adequately on the recommended setups by default?

As long as Asus hasn't caused another problem, that's okay. They faced a comparable issue with the 7800x3d during its release.

Many users are applying a minor undervoltage to these processors, which often leads to similar or improved results.

As mentioned earlier, a typical approach is to apply a negative offset which can assist in lowering voltage and temperatures. I use a -15 offset with mine and it slightly lowered temperatures while giving better scores in cinebench. In gaming, there’s no obvious performance difference.
With several 9800x3d systems, they tend to run a bit warmer during idle. Mine stays in the high 30s, whereas my neighbors are in the low 40s. Both have the same motherboard cooler and offset. Mine has a radiator mounted, which brings in cool air compared to his exhausting hot air, likely explaining the difference. Mine will only reach mid to high 60s during a sustained cinebench session. I use a 360mm AIO.
There are many helpful guides online on this topic.
I believe that while the ASROCK problems have been thoroughly documented, there don’t appear to be many issues outside of that brand’s motherboard, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

I can help you find a good guide for this.

I think TechYesCity has a few Ryzen undervolting guides.

how much effort would be required to ensure safety, given only that xmp is enabled?
