I'm looking to upgrade from a dying RX 590, and I'm eyeing the RX 6950 XT, which I can get for slightly less than 800 USD, I'm wondering if that'd be a good choice.

It's mostly for gaming, but I kinda want to run ML stuff and blender on the side, so I hope ROCm works well enough for that, I want to avoid NVIDIA because of Linux.

I think it really depends on what you rely on ML and blender for. If you are making money using ML, then I would go for it. If you're just using ML as a hobby then I would try going for a 6800 and saving a little bit of cash. 6700 may also work well for you to, but you may want to look at an online comparison website and see which one you think would be best for you.
