My Vcore after six hours of playing Warhammer 3 Total War. Tested CineBench as well, staying under 1.45 volts. Used a 13900k MSI Z690 with a 4098 watt rating.

You seem to be in good health, with normal temperatures and voltages. As long as your motherboard has the latest BIOS updates and Intel Safe settings are active, you should be fine. The microcode upgrade is essential, so consider getting it even if you don’t notice any problems. I’ll check whether you’re running your 13900K at default configurations. If you’re using lower clock speeds or voltages, issues might arise later. People with 14900K chips tend to show more degradation, while my experience shows 4090 GPUs are less affected. If you have a model with a 4090 GPU and no other contributing factors, it’s likely okay. Just wait for the update and keep your BIOS current.

I haven't encountered any problems. Regarding stock availability, I'd say yes. I don't overclock; I simply run at maximum power levels, which the design allows for boosting automatically. All motherboard configurations are original, which is why it was this way.

If you mean the Intel clusterf$$k, updates are expected with BIOS improvements. Keep an eye on GN for the latest info. This discussion should continue once Intel releases software patches. Your current MB BIOS details will outline the changes planned. The next release is anticipated for August, but I’m not currently informed.
